Autism is never a gift! Our children are the only gift. They need proper medical, behavioral and educational interventions to recover. Sadly, the general public and most doctors don’t even know the R-WORD (recovery) is possible. When you can reduce the “total load” on your child’s broken immune system, that’s when they can learn what they couldn’t before. Today my son is an aerospace engineer and what I wanted most for him happened. Ryan is happy, has friends and is leading a typical life. The “experts” said that one day my son would need to be institutionalized. They were wrong! But if you had told me any of this was possible when he was first diagnosed I never would have believed you.
Here is a 90 second clip from the documentary Restoring Balance: Autism Recovery
that shows Ryan before and after intervention. (https://youtu.be/lxbTPxrIr0k)

I lived with it for 50 years. I spent the previous 6 years recovering my health from the damage caused by autism. I’ve said many of the things you’ve said here. I’m hoping for the day when autism is recognized for what it is, I’ll health.

Thank you, again
