Does Lion's Mane help with autism?

Before stating anything, it's important to note that there is no current way of curing autism. However, many of the associated symptoms can be eased with the use of varying substances, both pharmacological drugs and alternative medicines.

The reason people claim that using Lion's Mane can help with autism is because of the host of benefits presented by medicinal mushrooms. They can aid your immune system and reduce inflammation, and so autism sufferers can definitely benefit from Lion's Mane and other mushrooms.

Aside from the direct medicinal properties presented by Lion's Mane, mushrooms, in general, are great sources of nutrition and contain all kinds of minerals and nutrients that are vital for a healthy functioning body. Studies have shown that autism sufferers can benefit greatly from a well-balanced and nutritious diet, and medicinal mushrooms are definitely a great way of achieving that.

Yes, Lion's mane mushroom is very effective, and it could help a child with autism. Lion's mane mushroom has a lot of nutrition benefits and also has useful medicinal ingredients, making it a great natural option to treat autism. Other than autism, it could be useful in the battle against your child's depression or anxiety. It can boost the immune system significantly.

These responses are incredibly gross. Autism isn't a disease. People don't suffer from autism. The studies that say autistic people benefit from a balanced diet were debunked. Everyone benefits from a balanced diet, it doesn't lower autistic people's traits.

Autism isn’t something that can be treated. However many autistic people experience certain conditions that can be treated, things like anxiety and GI issues.

I think this is a better way to frame it that is both more accurate and less offensive.

Certain diets and supplements do help autistic people, but I don’t believe there’s a one size fits all approach. It is good to determine what is bothering the autistic person and go from there.

I do believe that a diet with less or no sugar, that is less processed or free of processed foods and gluten is a good place to start. Cutting dairy is also a good idea as many people have allergies towards dairy.

Next place to start is pre and probiotics, healthy fats like olive oil, and something that seems to benefit my son’s anxiety is magnesium. From there it’s trial and error.

However no supplement will replace the benefits of acceptance and positivity about Neurodiversity.
