In recent studies, researchers have discovered that a chemical found in broccoli, sulforaphane, seemed to result in a mild improvement of symptoms of autism in 80% of children (as judged by their parents).
This is too preliminary to use as a treatment, but since it is believed that the changes that result in autism may begin before birth, it would be prudent for pregnant women to eat adequate vegetables and broccoli!
