Study: Low Cholesterol Link to Autism

There’s a promising new study that shows why low cholesterol levels could be making autism symptoms worse.
Rose Barker is a preschooler who has autism.
Her mom Angela says, “This is a child that would have a blank stare and run from other people if she didn't know them. I would have to literally carry her up the stairs with me if I just went from one level to another."
Today Rose is reading, smiling, and interacting like never before. And a packet of cholesterol could have helped make the difference.

Cholesterol and Autism

NEW YORK -- As people around the globe recognize autism this month, researchers are launching a new study focusing on cholesterol levels of children.
It's a whole new focus of research on this mysterious syndrome. In some cases, researchers think that cholesterol levels could be too low and that could be having an effect on children's development.
