Supposedly, the electrolytes aren't so much an autism thing, they're just an issue because we're depleting the crap out of them with the high-dose Vitamin K (to account for the calcium buildup, which is--or can be--an autism thing.) How high-dose, you may ask? She gets 12 drops per day, and one drop is 1250% of the RDA. Anyway, by replenishing the electrolytes, we're really just making the K more effective at doing its thing, which is breaking down and removing her excess calcium. This ties into her digestive issues, because calcium is a primary building block of mucous, which her gut is apparently full of. Suck out the calcium, and you start to break down the mucous, after which point we can (in theory) try going after the bacteria again once its cute little slime shield is down.
Funny thing about the book idea, do you have any idea how many books are out there written by parents who have completely recovered their children? "Autism recovery" on Amazon gives 57 book results, about half of which are personal memoirs about specific children. The problem is no one reads them unless they already have an autistic child. But maybe I'll try to convince my son to write his own book about his experiences, eh?

Experts in the field have written entire books answering just the small part of what we know with regard to that question. If you want, I can send you the paper that focuses on just the calcitriol problem. But that's by no means the whole disease, and it's not even part of every kid's disease.
