April is Autism Awareness Month. Chances are, you know someone with Autism; it is estimated that 1 in every 88 children and 1 in every 54 boys will be affected by this condition1. In the face of this growing prevalence, it is important to know that there are many treatment options available to parents and children dealing with Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting the use of specific nutritional and biomedical interventions in the treatment and support of those who have ASD2.
