What Multivitamin Do You Give Your Child With Autism
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone recommend a certain multivitamin? I see a bunch of different vitamins that contains extra omega 3's, iron, etc. My daughter is a picky eater so i know she doesn't get all the nutrients she needs. She will only eat gummy vitamins. We have tried the flinstones kind but they seem a little bit too hard to chew. I will talk with her MD and see what he thinks but i thought i'd try here as well...thanks!

Is Your Child Deficient In Vitamin B?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

There seems to be a correlation between low vitamin B levels and ASD. Doctors aren’t sure why that is or if it’s a question of a genetic component or they are not processing or retaining it properly. There are several B vitamins such as B12, B6, biotin, folate, etc. Has anyone had their child’s physician test them for this or mentioned it as being associated with ASD? TIA!
