Abstract

Autism is a condition often characterized by a failure to bond, lack of social interaction, avoidance of eye-to-eye contact, difficulties in language development, learning abilities, and repetitive behaviors known as “stimming”. One of etiological factors of ASD is vitamins and minerals deficiency.
Low B12 impairs methylation (detoxification) which causes the neurological damage responsible for many autistic symptoms. Symptoms of deficiency including abnormal gait, memory problems, eye disorders, and anemia.
Vitamin B12 deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia and disorders of the nervous system. It interacts with folic acid, whose deficiency is characteristic of people with intestinal dysfunction and epilepsy.
