Now, there are on-going studies showing that glutathione may help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is interesting to note that low levels of reduced glutathione are found in children with autism, down syndrome and brain abnormalities. Administered intravenously, significant improvements were seen in areas where symptoms are most apparent like speech regression, limited eye contact, short attention span, social withdrawal, and stereotype repetitive movements. Of course, coupled with balanced diets and essential supplements, children with autism, hopefully, can lead normal lives.
