What is ASD?
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurological disorder resulting in developmental disability. This affects:
• communication
• social understanding
• behaviour activities and interests
The term “spectrum” refers to a continuum of severity or developmental impairment. Children and adults with ASDs usually have particular communication and social characteristics in common, but the conditions cover a wide spectrum, with individual differences in:
•Number and particular kinds of symptoms
•Severity — mild to severe
•Age of onset
•Levels of functioning
•Challenges with social interactions
Individuals with ASDs have varying degrees of difficulty in social interaction and communication and may show repetitive behaviours and have unusual attachments to objects or routines.
My approach
I look for the “never the same since” and work from there. I do not work with the pathology per say but rather with the individual and his/her symptoms and how the pathology is being expressed.
I am CEASE trained and certified. I mostly use a combination of homeopathy, isotherapy, and some supplementation. But I do adapt to each individual. I am familiar with the DAN, the biomedical approach, and the special diets, including GFCF and GAP. I will work with you to best assist your child (or yourself) through the healing process so that this beautiful person can express his full potential.
For more information please contact me. I would love to help.
I specialize in working with families affected by ASDs.
Each individual is unique — no one person with an ASD responds or behaves exactly like another with the same diagnosis. I approach each individual as the unique being that they are.
I also work with the parents, as a strong parent is better able to face the trials and tribulations of living with an autistic child.
