#2Doing quick search, there is also interactions between Vasopressin and salt and blood pressure. Could ASD be helped by reducing salt? or increasing salt?
I'm not knowledgeable enough to untangle all of the studies where these terms are also used, which I guess is part of the problem this paper is pointing out, that the terminology/naming is confusing.
Is this saying if you have blood pressure problems you might also be at risk of ASD.
Or opposite, if you have ASD, you might have more risk of blood pressure problems.
"The name AVP refers to the hormone’s role in increasing vascular resistance and regulating blood pressure (via AVP receptor"
"Given the emerging evidence for central AVP signaling abnormalities in ASD, we would expect individuals with ASD, or a subgroup of them, to be at increased risk of AVP-related medical conditions and symptoms. "

The article is proposing the latter. Low AVP could contribute to symptoms of ASD. If this is true, they expect a positive correlation between ASD and other better-known issues caused by low AVP.

You’re almost there. It’s saying that you’re at risk for central diabetes insipidus known to cause abnormal thirst and urination in like the next paragraph.
What I find hilarious is that the whole first paragraph is about things being named after scientists and then there’s an author named Gesundheit…now I need to look that up.

#5That’s a fascinating introduction - they are concerned that dual (!) name of the molecule might be hiding all of its functions!
It looks like naming thing is not just a problem for programmers.

#6You can get tested for this if you have ASD by getting a copeptin test.

One thing I always found interesting is that inducing a fever in autistic people, in some of them it will reduce the severity of their autistic characteristics.

#8I’ve theorized in my book _Fat Gas_ that vasopressin levels are tied to elevated indoor CO2 levels.
Would not be at all surprised if these novel social conditions stem from not going outside enough and from poorly ventilated buildings (especially gyms and conference rooms) and transport (planes trains and automobiles each routinely exceed 1000 ppm from everybody’s lungs).

Or dense urban housing. But we're not allowed to criticize that, right. Homes with yards and green space are evil!
