Most of the parents of Treating Autism began the process of helping our children by listening to the stories of other parents, noticing similarities with our own children and our own experiences and proceeding from there to explore possibilities in treatments and therapy optons.
We gain insight and direction from each other's stories, and also hope, as well as admonitions and warnings. The parents' stories here have been generously shared by people who have seen improvements in their children's overall health and behaviour through the use of various biomedical interventions.
