Dr. Karen Parker: The Causes & Treatments for Autism
Huberman Lab
The Relationship Between Low Vasopressin Levels and Autism Diagnosis
The levels of vasopressin were found to be low in both monkeys and children with social interaction deficits, including both male and female children. The study aimed to determine the causality between low vasopressin levels and social deficits by analyzing spinal fluid samples taken from infants prior to any significant social interaction beyond interactions with their mothers. These samples were then linked to the development of autism later in life. The research suggested that low vasopressin levels in infants may contribute to a different developmental trajectory, impacting social interest and eye contact. The potential of early intervention, including vasopressin replacement therapy, to alter this trajectory was considered. The study also indicated that low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) vasopressin levels could serve as a biomarker for clinical referral or risk management monitoring for autism.
