Yup you read that right. Gage has low cholesterol! I had our DAN doctor check it after reading a study from Kennedy Kreiger Institute that a statistically significant number of autistic children in their study had low cholesterol. Now the study didn't say how this affected the children. But I do know that cholesterol (other that being hard to spell) is very important for neurological function. It helps make up the lining of the nerve cells and is important in the make up cells themselves.
So I am going to try to have Gage eat more eggs and the doctor is sending me a cholesterol supplement. Then in 6 weeks we have it checked again. Jeez I wonder what his cholesterol would be if he wasn't such a french fry junkie!
