What is Autism?

According to a recent article by the American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society, “Autism and pervasive developmental disorders encompass a wide continuum of associated cognitive and neurobehavioral disorders, including the core defining features of impaired socialization, impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior… diagnosis of this condition is not made until 2 to 3 years after the symptoms are recognized, primarily because of concerns about labeling or incorrectly diagnosing the child.”

Autistic ChildDespite these concerns, many children continue to be labeled “autistic,” and carry this inaccurate, symptom-based diagnosis for many years.

In evaluating children with these symptoms we often find that, in addition to significant metabolic toxic sensitivities that adversely affect brain function, they show injuries in the brain stem, limbic area, cortex and cerebellum. We consider that the limbic area is the most affected level of these children’s brains.

When a course of treatment is introduced that focuses on, and deals directly with, these sensitivities and the limbic brain, we see real improvement in the child’s functioning and behavior.

What Can We Do For Your Child?

First, the Team at The Family Hope Center performs a complete evaluation of your child to identify and understand the depths of the metabolic sensitivities (toxins, allergies, or both) that are affecting him or her. We then develop a plan to carefully bring about the complete restoration of the gut, organs and brain. These are critical stepping stones on which complete recovery must be built.

Your treatment program will then address the sensory pathways ( normally hypersensitive), which regulate smell ( esp important as the olfactory pathway leads right into the Limbic brain), touch, taste and hearing, in order to bring about the normal development of these functions. Treatment of the sensory pathways, with the proper frequency, intensity and duration, must always precede development of the other functions, such as mobility, speech, manual dexterity and social skills.

Matthias E. and his parents Robert and Laura E.“unbelievable changes in a short time…he’s starting to communicate verbally. Now he prefers to be in the middle of everything.”
The Team will then develop a passive and active respiration program for your child. Remember that this, in conjunction with a comprehensive brain therapy and metabolic program, will significantly increase the physiological and neurological function of the brain as a whole. As the sensory program is being accomplished, your child will be be doing an initial mobility program – reflexive integration to improve the medulla, crawling to help the pons, and creeping to develop the midbrain. Within the elements of the program the staff will instruct you on how to begin retraining and developing the social network in the brain of your child (Limbic and Frontal Lobe) so they will learn from the  inside out – not be strategy, how  to  integrate with you, their brothers and sisters, friends in school and relatives.
Brain impairments associated with A.D.D./A.D.H.D. In addition to significant metabolic sensitivities that adversely affect brain function, children with Autism have impairments in the midbraincerebellum, and corticalareas of the brain. The exact location and extent of the impairments are determined through an individualized evaluation.

So in short, the Team addresses the levels of toxicity in your child, develops the limbic/social brain through the sense of smell & organization, provides a great deal of opportunity to crawl and creep on hands and knees to mature the brain stem, and introduces a very specific diet designed to introduce the perfect balance of nutrition and water.
