In addition, 80% of our immune system cells line the intestinal tract. The intestinal tract is actually considered to be a second brain - 80% of neurotransmitters are produced in the intestinal tract. This means that to help individuals within the autism spectrum, it is critical to identify and treat underlying health issues. Chronic inflammation may be triggered by a combination of genetic predisposition, infectious agents (such as a chronic viral, bacterial and/or yeast infection), and environmental triggers, which vary from person to person. For many individuals, there tends to be reduced sensitivity to receiving feedback from body extremities - hand flapping and spinning help the individual to receive more feedback from their extremities (proprioceptive feedback) to help them know where they are in space - where their body ends and the rest of the world begins which is essential to forming a sense of self and identity.Īll viable autism therapies, nutritional and non-nutritional, help to make neurological connections and reduce sensory distortion.īehavioral and cognitive symptoms that are manifested for many individuals are believed by researchers to be the result of a chronic auto-immune condition that includes inflammation of the intestinal tract and brain. Disorganized information is more difficult to retrieve and use in making sense of and interacting with the outside world.įor example, if visual images aren't linked with auditory sounds - individuals have difficulty make the connection between sounds being associated with images.
If incoming information of hearing, sight, touch, spatial awareness and smell is not simultaneously and synchronously stored, information tends to be stored in a more disorganized fashion in the brain. At first overwhelmed with incoming information, young children within the autism spectrum typically shut down one of their senses over time. This cognitive/neurological map expands and interconnects most rapidly and extensively before the age of 3 1/2.Ĭurrent autism research points to autistic individuals having neurological disconnect, sensory distortion, and difficulty in filtering incoming information from the outside world before the age of 3 1/2. The brain of a developing infant creates an internal cognitive/neurological map of the outside world that enables the child to make sense of and interact with the outside world. When a neurotypical person interacts with the outside world, what they see, hear, smell, and touch are simultaneously stored in the brain. Those those who do not lose their labels are often functioning at a significantly higher level than had been thought when my son was diagnosed, almost 20 years ago. Tens of thousands parents have found that their children have made significant behavioral and cognitive gains when put on a nutritional intervention program.According to multiple surveys of parents including those through the Recovered Kids website and the Autism Research Institute organization, the majority of parents whose young children recovered from autism were placed on a nutritional intervention program.įrom a diagnosis that was considered to be permanent and non-recoverable, now it is estimated that up to 40% of children diagnosed with and autism spectrum disorder now lose their labels. Nutritional intervention helps parents get the most out of the time and/or money invested in other therapies. However most children in the autism spectrum make considerably more progress in these therapies if underlying health issues are addressed at the same time.

This means that to help a child, teen or adult reach their full potential, it is critical to identify and treat underlying health issues.īehavioral modification and integrative therapies (auditory, visual, and sensory) can be also extremely beneficial when carried out in a humane fashion by competent and caring professionals. According to current trends in autism research, it has become apparent that the underlying cause of autism is biomedical.
