Autism is more than a neurological diagnosis—it is a complex biochemical pattern that can be measured, understood, and improved. Research from Dr. William Walsh and others shows that the majority of individuals with autism are undermethylated, leading to low serotonin and dopamine activity, poor detox capacity, and mitochondrial stress. Articles in this section explore how these systems interact: Undermethylation & Autism: Interpreting whole-blood histamine and the plasma methylation panel (SAM, SAH, homocysteine) to identify hidden metabolic bottlenecks. Methylation & Mitochondria: How energy production, glutathione, and creatine formation connect to focus, mood, and resilience. Copper & Oxidative Stress: Understanding copper overload autism, zinc deficiency, and antioxidant depletion that intensify behavioral reactivity. FRAT Test & Folinic Acid: When folate receptor antibodies block folate entry to the brain and why folinic acid (not methylfolate) may restore cognitive function in select cases.
