Our son was also deficient and we were able to get levels up to 50 (which is recommended in the study that I had posted which saw positive changes). It took a long time (months) to get to that level and we were seeing dramatic changes during that time. Hard to attribute to just vitamin d as we were doing a lot is sifferent things. But it makes sense to levels back to normal for everyone, most just ASD kids.
