How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Autism?
Mainstream medicine's approach to autism is name it and refer out.
Speech. OT. An IEP. Meltdowns get a behavioral label or a risperidone talk. Gut pain, sleeplessness, and picky eating that is actually sensory-plus-inflammation get "that's autism."

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Autism?
Commonly missed root causes of autism include gut, sleep, seizure-spectrum, nutrient, and inflammatory loads.
Many autistic kids and adults carry treatable gut, sleep, seizure-spectrum, nutrient, and inflammatory loads that make regulation harder than the wiring alone requires. Therapy teaches skills. It does not fix the belly pain that is driving the next explosion.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. What extra load is sitting on your (or your child's) nervous system?
Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?
