>>Talk to older teachers who have been teaching for thirty years. They will tell you. It’s an epidemic. SOMETHING in our environment is causing this.<<
I hope you took a look at Dr. Cannell’s paper that I linked to earlier in this thread.
Whether you did or not, here are two links I think you’ll find interesting regarding his experience with autism and vitamin D3:

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/newsletter/newsletter-more-autism-reports/#
I want to add that Dr. Cannell related later that about 25% of autistic kids respond significantly to vitamin D3 supplementation and about 25% show no improvement. The rest see some improvement in symptoms. That’s apparently his overall impression based on his case reports, not the result of a formal study.
Why have I never read this before? You have blown my mind and expanded my research. Thank you so much for posting this. It makes a lot of sense. A lot.
I have one son on the spectrum and another with other special needs.
Already we are a family who believes in high doses of vitamin D. And we don’t sunscreen unless the time in the sun is two or more hours. I have seen the magic of D all around us but never as seasonal treatment for autism. I am thrilled that this works at the preschool level. I hope that it keeps working all through life.
This is wonderful and I am sharing these links.
