Robert Naviaux is the real deal and his theory on the Cell Danger Response is fascinating [1]. In addition to ASD, he recently made a significant discovery in the characterization of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a metabolic illness [2].<p>[1] <a href="http://naviauxlab.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/cell_danger_response.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://naviauxlab.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/cell_d...</a>

This might help some aspects of ASD. Hopefully. However I do not see how it will reverse the altered neural migration occurring early in development, for example, unless it is administered in infancy or earlier while in the womb..
<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suramin" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suramin</a><p>Things to note:<p>- Administered solely by injection.<p>- Not FDA approved.
From TFA: "Suramin works by inhibiting the signaling function of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a nucleotide or small molecule produced by cellular mitochondria and released from the cell as a danger signal. When CDR is activated, the effect of extracellular ATP is similar to a warning siren that never stops. Suramin inhibits the binding of ATP and similar molecules to key purinergic receptors, according to Naviaux."<p>Are there any other substances out there that inhibit ATP signaling?
