A paper of a recent clinical study written by Fred L. Crane, (Department of Biological Science, Purdue University, W. Lafayette, Indiana) and Anna Gvozdjáková, (Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia), says yes and concludes that the “beneficial effect of ubiquinol in children with autism has been demonstrated for the first time”.
Autism is a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders with manifestation within three years after birth. Manifestations of autism include behavior problems, (hyperactivity, toy destruction, self-harm, and aggression), and sleep and eating disorders.
