Our Experience Visiting a Biomedical Autism Specialist
Last week we visited a biomedical doctor specializing in the biomedical treatment of autism and related disorders. In this week's podcast I'm sharing why I made the decision to take her, our experience, the information we learned and next steps.
Here's some information I noted in the podcast:
1. Dr. Anne Hines - the doctor we saw
2. Dr. Hines stated that autism is an autoimmune disorder that impacts the brain
3. Book Recommendations - Finally Focused by James Greenblatt, The Heal Your Gut Cookbook by Hilary Boynton and Mary Brackett, EMF*D by Dr. Joseph Mercola

10 Things All Parents of Children With Autism Should Know That No One Talks About
No, I'm not mentioning speech therapy, ABA therapy, occupational therapy or feeding therapy. I'm not talking about strategies to improve speech or decrease problem behaviors. This also isn't about IEP meetings, sensory toys or any of the other typical autism topics we address. Today, I'm diving into the things that no one likes to talk about, but that have such a massive impact on your child's life and on your autism parenting journey. Trust me, you definitely don't want to miss this episode.
