Abstract:

The incidence of autism has risen dramatically in recent years. The common and distinguishing features of Autistic Spectrum Disorders are reviewed. Recent research explores causes ranging from genetic predisposition and heavy metal toxicity to birth practices. Many autistic individuals have associated allergic, immune system and gastro-intestinal conditions. A rapidly expanding array of biomedical interventions is showing promise in improving the quality of life for autistic individuals. A significant percentage of autistic children demonstrate a fairly consistent pattern of osteopathic structural findings, which call for our skill in treatment. The lives and experiences of individuals on the spectrum are offered in a spirit of hope for the future.
