Introduction

Some people believe that people with autistic spectrum disorders are susceptible to immune deficiencies and that these deficiencies may produce some of the symptoms of autism.

By injecting or swallowing immune globulin, an antibody used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses, it is believed those abnormalities can be overcome and the symptoms of autism reduced.
