    I learned of his experience with autistic children back in about 2008 when I was first taking 50,000 D3. His primary job at the time was as a doctor at a mental hospital. The paper is a much more scholarly presentation of his experience than I was aware of from 9 years earlier. It's not a controlled formal study. It's just a review of his experience with children who came to his attention over the years.

    Best collection of vitamin D autism research that I know of is at https://vitamindwiki.com/Autism

    My take on it is that autism is triggered by a variety of toxins. Sufficient vitamin D revs up the immune system enough to neutralize those toxins. The question of dosage is rather like how much water does it take to put out a fire. Enough, not too much.

    A formal scientific paper would have helped but having first referenced a ‘press release’ as the first source,

    For my interest, identify a formal paper from a credible source like JAMA or Lancet.

    It is a review paper. These are an overview of work done in recent research on the topic in question. They do go through the peer review process.

    This paper had over a hundred references.
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313850575_Vitamin_D_and_autism_what's_new/references

    The journal it is in is part of Springer. I don't know more about it beyond that.

    Looks like you'll have to contact the author to get the full text.

    interesting article this morning about a guy rfk hired, who had previously been fined for practicing medicine without a license.
    he and his father used to sell their own drug to autistic families for $5-6,000. a month, but it didn't work.

    'pends on what you mean by 'work'.

    if you mean "brings in $5-6,000 a month" maybe it worked ok.
