Autism is a complex, heterogeneous condition whose incidence is skyrocketing. It is becoming increasingly clear that a subset of children diagnosed with autism suffer from treatable physical illness. Although autism is diagnosed based on a constellation of behavioral symptoms, when underlying physical illnesses are identified and treated properly, children can reach their maximum potential and are even losing their diagnosis altogether. Presently, parents are given resources limited to education, speech and behavioral therapies, but may not realize that their child's brain cannot function if their body is burdened with illness. The few practitioners who understand autism as a chronic illness are overwhelmed, and often have long waiting lists. In this book, Dr. Sharma reviews the importance of understanding the basics of the immune system so that parents can more rapidly access appropriate treatments for their child. For example, how do you know if your child's immune system is healthy, or impaired? What laboratory tests might be important to diagnose poor immune health and the presence of stealth infections? What should you ask your doctor if your child suddenly develops anxiety, obsessions, compulsions, or tics? In simple terms, Dr. Sharma breaks down the complexities of microbiology and immunology and provides critical information that it may otherwise take years for parents to collect. Her perspective as immunologist, holistic nutrition consultant and parent of a recovering child is unique, and her hope is contagious. The most important advice is to never give up on your child, at any age!
