Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial aims to explore the effect of Vitamin B6 supplementation on anxiety sensory hyperreactivity in autistic adults. Researchers will compare a placebo group to high-dose Vitamin-B6 to see if vitamin B6 reduce anxiety and sensory reactivity differences in autism.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main question it aims to answer is:

* Does high-dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduce sensory hyperreactivity differences in autism?
* Does high-dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduce anxiety differences in autism?
* Explore the effects of vitamin B6 on sleep quality, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) scores, and various visual perception tasks that are indicative of GABAergic activity
