Vitamin D supplementation in the first 2 years and autism spectrum traits at 6–8 years – a randomized clinical trial

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Early life vitamin D levels may be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related traits, but causality is unknown. We examine whether higher‐than‐standard vitamin D3 supplementation during the first 2 years, as well as higher pregnancy and childhood 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and their trajectories, are associated with
