The degree of recovery a child
experiences depends primarily on his/her unique potential, combined with their parent’s
willingness to do whatever it takes.
What Should You Do Immediately?
This is very straight forward: you have to increase the things that your child is not
getting enough of and reduces the things that your child has too much of.
Things that usually need to increase:
- overall nutritional content in food
- specific B vitamins
- antioxidants
- healthy fats (Omega fatty acids)
- amino acids
- probiotics
- methylation co-factors
- specific sensory stimulation
- multi-sensory stimulation
- gross motor training
- core muscle strengthening
- vestibular (balance) exercise
- fine motor training
- activities of daily living
- socialization with other children of different abilities
- exposure to new environments
- needs-based educational programs
Things that usually need to decrease:
- environmental toxins
- conventional household cleaners
- wheat in the diet
- dairy products
- other potential food allergens
- excess sugar

- exposure to construction materials

In conclusion, there is a lot that you can do to help your child. First, align yourself with
a health care professional that understands the spectrum and be aggressive. Surround
yourself with a group of like-minded people. Read and learn everything you can about
Autism. Never give up.
