Helping Older Children and Nonresponders with Biomedical Treatments
How do you start your biomedical journey when you have just received the diagnosis of autism for your child or when you suspect your child has autism? This presentation will review laboratory testing and clinical history that are important in identifying potential problems that might be contributing to autism. The treatment of several metabolic conditions has been reported to reverse or improve autism in some cases, and emphasis will be placed on screening for these problems.
Second presentation title: Helping Older Children and Nonresponders with Biomedical Treatments
What do you do when your child does not respond well to the many therapies other parents have used successfully? How about when your child becomes older and goes through puberty? This presentation will examine some of the more complex metabolic problems found in children as they get older and encounter puberty.
