Autism Autism Canada reports that Vitamin C has been shown to have a calming effect on behavior in humans. In animals, stereotyped behavior, one of the characteristics of autism, was reduced by treatment with vitamin C. Scientists hypothesize that vitamin C has these effects because it affects the brain’s response to an important neurotransmitter, dopamine 6. Some researchers have also theorized that children with autism may have more trouble managing free radicals than other children. Because vitamin C is an antioxidant it has the ability to help protect the the brain and immune system from free radicals.
A double-blind experiment, showed that high doses of vitamin C in children with autism had significant positive effects on behavior, compared to their behavior scores when they were taking a placebo.
