Autism
Children diagnosed with autism often have medical issues like digestive disorders, sleep disturbances and sensory issues that can cause pain and discomfort.
The naturopathic approach to autism is a system approach to optimize systems and functions in the body. This naturopathic approach is often referred to as “biomedical treatment”.
The medical aspects of autism include but are not limited to:
- Mood
- Sleep
- Immune system
- Digestive health
- Energy
Naturopathic or biomedical treatment is not a “quick fix” and is an ongoing process. Biomedical treatment is the individualized assessment and treatment of the medical aspects of autism spectrum disorder. Treatment may improve quality of life and may open up opportunities for improved communication, social interaction and learning.
