Where do you start to help your child so they can have a happy, healthy and meaningful life?

Autism is a complex disorder, requiring a comprehensive treatment plan, so that they grow into the best version of themselves that they can be.

The Autism GAINES Project helps to identify these basic deficiencies in developing children.

Is your child building a strong foundation on which they will become the best version of themselves?

The foundation for your child’s health depends on:

Gut Health

How much have we heard of the gut-brain-axis connection these days? The gut and the brain are intimately connected. No one will be able to achieve their best if they are constipated, have loose stools, abdominal discomfort, or pain. Especially a non-verbal child.

Anxiety & Mental Health

How can anyone make gains if they are anxious, depressed, stressed, in a constant state of arousal or indeed have multiple underlying conditions?

Immune Regulation

There is extraordinarily strong evidence for inflammation in the brain of these children. Also, a dysfunctional immune system leading to autoimmune conditions and allergies affecting neurodevelopment.

Nutrition & Optimal Diet

At a time when children are rapidly growing and developing, how much sense does it make to feed them with some of the worst processed food available on supermarket shelves! Picky eaters, have they been assessed for an underlying medical issue? Nutritional deficiencies and nutritional disease is highly prevalent in these children.

Exercise

Our ancestors were in constant motion hunting and gathering and learning from their environment. There is no lack of evidence for the benefits of exercise. Yet a sedentary lifestyle and an addiction to screen time has slowly dominated our children’s lives.

Sound Sleep

So important for a child’s development, yet so elusive for some children. Improving a child’s sleep has not only benefits for the child, but the parent as well. Nothing like being able to sleep through the night, rather than having to stay up with a child who is upset or ready to play while everyone else is asleep!

Looking Beyond the Basics – How do we do it?

If you have been told that there is no evidence to show that correcting nutritional and biochemical deficiencies, dietary modification, addressing gut issues or supplements can benefit your child, nothing can be further from the truth.

Together we can help your child achieve a better outcome.

As a Medical Scientist, Naturopath, and father of an ASD child, I know the frustration and challenges of finding the best treatment for your child. Often parents just know that it is not just ASD that is an issue. Something else may be making your child unhappy. If you do not know what you are dealing with, then it is harder to treat your child successfully.

As a parent you need to do your own research, question everything and commit to helping your child. There is no “magic potion” or protocol, it is treating many issues well, that ultimately help your child make gains. This starts with improving six fundamental areas that form the foundation of helping any ASD child, as explained above and in the Autism GAINES Project.

What improvements would you expect to see in in your child?

Optimising these six fundamental areas of your child’s health, your child will be happier and achieve so much more. And life will be a little less stressful for you and your family. Especially if you are all able to get a good night’s sleep! It also builds a good foundation for other supportive therapies like behavioural, speech, occupational therapy, etc.

By correcting a child’s underlying issues, I have yet to see a child not benefit by becoming happier, calmer, and ultimately benefiting more from any additional therapies. They can concentrate, learn and with time develop the skills they need to become independent. As a parent of an ASD child, this is what I wanted most for my child. Was it easy? No, but I made the commitment, and now he is independent and making his own mark on the world. Together, we can do the same for your child.

We are not talking of “cures” or “recovery”, rather we want them to be the best version of themselves. In the process, some may no longer fit the criteria for a formal ASD diagnosis. However, they often retain the beneficial aspects of their autism.

What are Biomedical Interventions?

When my son was diagnosed, the ARI Treatment Rating was probably the best source of information I had to work with. Since 2009 we have greatly improved the effectiveness of these treatments in the parent ratings below and added many more.

Research is useless unless it is read, shared, and implemented into clinical practice.
