Abstract The exact pathogenic mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are still unclear. Recent studies have linked them to the nutritional status of vitamin A in children with ASD. This article reviews the peripheral blood levels of vitamin A, the causes of low levels of vitamin A, the effects and mechanisms of low vitamin A levels on the clinical manifestation of children with ASD, and the supplementation of vitamin A in improving symptoms of ASD.
