Some experts believe there are two types of autism:
1. Classic autism which is present from birth
2. Autism triggered by environmental factors such as medicines, pollution and toxins – known as regressive autism
Therefore they argue that by using special biomedical detox methods with children in this second category of autism, symptoms improve and can disappear. Children with classic autism will not be expected to recover but may show an improvement in their symptoms.
The British charity “TREATING AUTISM” advises parents and carers on biomedical detox methods and are holding their next conference on March 12th – 14th in Bournemouth .
