Effective Autism Treatments

Author: mom_to_one, 06 29th, 2010

It’s no secret that there are dozens of autism treatments touted by parents across the country as a miracle cure for the disorder. In this blog we have examined several—from probiotics and heavy metal detox, to the elimination of certain foods from the diet. One of the most popular modus operandi is to eliminate all wheat and dairy products, which many parents say effectively curbs the detrimental affects of autism.

A recent article in New Scientist mentioned a new study that showed no evidence the diet worked. But try telling that to the parents who have implemented it and seen amazing results. The same can be said of heavy metal detox, which has little scientific evidence to support it but hundreds of avid advocates. I’m certainly not a doctor, but perhaps there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to the disease. As we’ve seen, autism is a spectrum of disorders which have myriad causes, so it seems natural that there are multiple ways to treat it, and they all might not work for everyone.
