Adding cholesterol to the diet may help certain forms of autism.
In most cases, it is not known what causes autism in a specific child. Some people with autism, however, have Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS).

Most people with SLOS also have wide-set eyes, low-set ears, and a high arched palate in the mouth.
