AUTISM: 1 IN 88 AND WHAT WE CAN DO
The new higher autism numbers represent a public health crisis that needs response now. Although some of the increase is surely due to better diagnosis, most experts agree that some or a lot of it is real, and due to as-yet unknown environmental factors.
These numbers make sense if you understand the new trends in autism research and systems biology.
In my new book The Autism Revolution: Whole Body Strategies for Making Life All It…

Snowballing into autism
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE: That autism is pre-programmed from birth.
BUT NOW WE KNOW: That autism may emerge from a pile-up of many commonplace problems that snowball into autism
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Tackle these problems systematically and you can dial back the autism. Systematically approach the physical symptoms of autism to support the immune system, gut bugs and brain health, take things slowly to avoid stress, and reduce toxic exposures.

For decades, the word autism meant an immutable brain disorder, one determined solely by genes and that was only marginally responsive to therapies.

Medical problems are treatable in people with autism

There’s a lot you can do
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE: That autism is predestined by genetics.
BUT NOW WE KNOW: Genes create vulnerability but in almost every case, other environmental triggers are required for autism to develop. Environment can make anyone’s life worse – or better. It can make autism more or less severe, too.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Learn what you need to about the genes you can’t change, and control what you can by making your family’s environment as supportive,…
