Dear All
I am anxious and worried mum of three years old newly diagnosed child with autism
i was searching around for treatments and information, and came across biomedical treatment with several video on it on toutube
can anyone help me in this issue whether someone has tested it, is it reliable, whether it works, is it available in UK etc
If by biomedical you mean pharmacological then the considered opinion of the National institute for health and care excellence (NICE) is that it doesn't work. "Do not use the following interventions for the management of core features of autism in children and young people: antipsychotics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, exclusion diets (such as gluten- or casein-free diets)."
In fact quite a lot of the guidance is list of things that don't work including
neurofeedback
auditory integration training
omega-3 fatty acids
secretin
chelation
hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
