the very small N part still applies here though, the study was done on 18 children only, given the prevalence of ASD and the complexity of it I think we just need more proof. I won't count it out but I think the conclusions should've just been: this looks promising but we need to study it more. (tbf, i think i'm complaining more about the tone of the article.)

The sad thing is that in America today you can't get access to the two big 'miracle cures' (fecal transplants or MDMA) for any reason outside of clinical trials. Anyone with a non-verbal loved one should be able to legally try the fecal transplant and anyone with PTSD should be allowed to legally try MDMA. Scientifically proving that treatments work isn't nearly as important as proving that treatments are safe.
