I was looking at our metrics and it seems our autism videos are relatively unpopular in terms of video views. That surprises me, especially since there’s so much really exciting research out there. Remember my Best Foods for Autism (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-foods-for-autism/) series about broccoli sprouts. I thought that was so wild! Anyways, if there are topics I’m not covering that you’d like me to spend more (or less) time on let me know. Basically  I just cover whatever I see coming in through the medical literature, but I could make a concerted effort to hunt down info on particular topics of interest (even if there doesn’t happen to necessarily be anything new coming out about it).
