Autism
Autism has now become a household word. What used to be a rare disorder that affected 1 in 20.000 children is now a widespread common childhood epidemic, affecting one in 58 boys under the age of eight. 1 in 58. That should make everyone pause for a moment and gasp. I have spent the better part of the last five years of my life reading and studying about autism as well as working with them in an autism center my non-profit organization used to run (The New Vision Autism Center previously located in Temecula, CA).

There is a lot of misinformation out there in the world. First of all, Autism is TREATABLE. I don’t care what your physician says, I have met children who RECOVERED from autism. I have watched children begin to speak, stop flapping, learn to read, stop toe walking, learn to interact with other children, say “I love you” to their mommy and more. Don’t let anyone give you the death sentence of “there’s nothing that can be done.”

The most comprehensive website for autism treatment is www.autism.com–the website for the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, California. Years ago, a group of physicians from ARI started Defeat Autism Now!– a group of doctors dedicated to finding the biochemical cause of autism. They have been extremely successful in treatment the underlying causes of autism. There is a library of videos, research articles, podcasts, and more that can be accessed there. Two other phenomenol resources are Talk About Curing Autism at www.tacanow.org (based out of Costa Mesa, California) and Autism One at www.autismone.org (based out of Chicago, IL).

I have done a tremendous amount of public speaking over the last few years in an attempt to raise awareness about the disorder among our civic leaders, community groups, and community activists. They always want to know what causes autism. I wish there were a simple answer, because then there would probably be a simple solution, but there is not. Autism is a very complex disorder with many factors, which is why children with autism all seem so very different. Click here to read more.
