April/May
Kathleen: Yes. Stephen no longer has any symptoms of autism.
Joyce: What would you tell a family who has a child diagnosed with autism?
Kathleen: The best piece of advice I could give a family who has a child diagnosed with autism is to
find a way to “lift the burden” off the body. When a child has autism, there are always a number of factors
at play like poor detoxification, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, poor digestion and absorption, toxicity,
gut dysbiosis and more.
Seek support from practitioners and families that have been successful in improving the health of
children on the spectrum. This is getting easier to do now with the Internet. When I was going through
this with Stephen, even just nine years ago, I felt very isolated.
Joyce: Is there anything else you want to add?
Kathleen: I will be speaking at Autism One in Chicago on May 20-25, 2015. http://www.autismone.
org/ I will also be supporting families in the lounge with another group of amazing mothers who have also
recovered their children from autism, ADHD, sensory integration, and other spectrum disorders. With
over 150 speakers and international scientists, it’s an event that will be an amazing resource for families
and practitioners. http://www.autismone.org/
