Doing 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…

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.

I’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!

CO2 levels are high in enclosed spaces, not in urban environments
