This listserv is a support group for those interested in the integrative medical approach to treatment for autism spectrum disorders, which mostly involves special diets, nutritional supplements, and the removal of toxic substances.
This listserv is by definition exploratory rather than explanatory, does not constitute a how-to manual, and is meant as an open forum for information and laymen's opinions, which might or might not be effective--be very cautious about accepting what sounds like the voice of authority on any matter great or small. You should always consult your clinician before altering your son's or daughter's treatment plan, even with products that are available without a prescription--safety testing is often a real concern. Any educational, legal, therapeutic, or medical opinions expressed therein are solely those of the individual, and should in no way be construed as legal or medical advice. Professionals are welcome to join, however this is not an appropriate venue for offering professional advice. Since this is a support group, rudeness and promotion of products or services will not be tolerated.
