Thimerosal Exposure and the Role of Sulfation Chemistry and . . . Evidence for abnormal sulfation chemistry in autism began to be reported in the early 1990s, when Waring and O’Reilly found low plasma levels of inorganic sulfate and sulfur oxidation deficiencies in children diagnosed with an ASD who also had food chemical intolerances Waring and O’Reilly found that the ratio between plasma Cys (a
Shared Developmental Neuropathological Traits Between Autism . . . One such sulfur-containing compound that has shown intriguing neuroprotection in both neurodevelopmental disorders is taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid; C 2 H 7 NO 3 S), which merits further study and consideration for ameliorating both developmental neuropathological syndromes
Autism and Connective Tissue Disorders Explained One such revelation is the intriguing link between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and connective tissue disorders (CTDs), two conditions that, at first glance, appear to have little in common Autism spectrum disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive
5. 75 Prevalence of Connective Tissue–Related Symptoms in . . . ASD, ADHD, and Tourette’s disorder (TD) exhibit overlapping neuropathological mechanisms, such as impaired brain connectivity A more complete view of the alteration of connectivity that characterizes neurodevelopmental disorders both at the central and peripheral levels has recently been formulated through the “Connectivome Theory,” which is based on the role of connective tissue in the
