Aspiritech: Software Testing Harnessing the Power of Asperger's Syndrome & HFA. Aspiritech is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide a path for high functioning individuals on the Autism Spectrum to realize their potential through gainful employment. To this end we harness these individuals' unique abilities – attention to detail, precision, an affinity for repetitive tasks, outstanding technology skills – to provide competitively-priced software testing services. We achieve this by providing our testers a combination of intensive training, structure, and support to mitigate potential workplace challenges. [link] |

New Recommendation re vaccine injury: "Take photos!" [see announcement] I have recently created this separate page to focus on Autism and related conditions. There are several very important developments in both understanding the causes, and in treating the underlying reasons for the conditions. When I speak with parents I will refer them to this page so that they can begin exploring the information and the links to other sites for themselves. We are all working together to help save the children of the world from continued devastation. I am definitely hopeful that the many approaches now available are bringing us closer to a more effective set of options to help each individual child and family.
New Genetic Support Testing, with Functional Medicine Recent advances now make it possible to test children (and adults) to tell which gene functions may need to be compensated for in order to guard against possible adverse reactions to medications including vaccination stress. This is because we now can test for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP's) that alter the efficiency of the body's detoxification pathways. If a person's gene structure is one of several that have been identified as requiring support, then they can take precautions in advance to support their body's protection and defense against toxic stress. Note: Having a SNP does not mean the person will have a problem, if they take precautions. More: Functional Medicine AcuGraph: Several practitioners are offering this functional testing. It aids in managing the child's autonomic nervous system. [more]

The Path to Cure: The Whole Art of Healing by Allyson McQuinn, DMH Now a Doctor of Medical Heilkunst & homeopathy, Allyson McQuinn came through harrowing and uplifting experiences with behavioral problems in her child and severe health conditions herself. This is a story of triumph of one person, but also of an understanding of Natural Law that is offering humanity a deeper opportunity for healing than ever before recognized. It describes what true Disease is, how illness is generated, what is a Constitution, what are Miasms, the Journey, and "Facing the Shadow." She works with families that are touched by Autism/ASD. >> Book description and endorsement. See also: Craniosacral Therapy | Developmental Movement Therapy |

A growing number of homeopathic practitioners are applying the complete system of care that Dr. Samuel Hahnemann began to map out. The care of children becomes much more straightforward once their parents and doctor begin including referrals for the Heilkunst overview that guides the choices for which options for care are most supportive of the natural self-healing strengths of the child. >> Human Energy Anatomy (my description) Factors to Consider: Healthy Core Constitution: From an early age, even at birth, the child's basic personality begins to become apparent. This is a healthy part of the child and does not need to be treated to remove it. This "constitutional archetype" needs to be recognized and strengthened. The Law of Similars can be used to explain the choice of homeopathic remedy for this. >> Personality Types Iatrogenic Disease: Every non-homeopathic medication that is given to the child leaves an imprint upon his or her inner cellular energy memory. This includes vaccinations. The shocks of these can be treated using the homeopathy/Heilkunst principles. The Law of Similars is applied here also. Chronic Miasms: These act as if they were "computer viruses" that invade the "computer" of the human being. They always cause stress, usually mild and imperceptible until later times when the body's defenses may become weakened with age. Of note, the "Lyme Miasm" now seems to be a major factor in the symptoms of "Autism Spectrum Disorders" (see below *). The Law of Similars applies. >> More Chthonic Disease: The "energy diseases" in this category lead to disturbance of a child's happiness and cause deep fear. The reactions can result in "hot stream" conditions of hyperactivity, or "cold stream" conditions of withdrawal. The Law of Similars applies. >> More Supportive "Regimen": This includes everything other than homeopathic energy medicines. Food, sleep, hygiene, fresh air, sunshine, loving presence of parent and caregivers. Nutritional supplements are included here, especially the new use of a hyaluronic acid product for autism. This is applied using the Law of Opposites [supplying what is missing, and removing toxins, etc.].

* Lyme and Autism: The authors of this book began using the approach that I call "Integrative Homeopathy" with autistic children and pioneered the classification of the Chthonic Diseases. They then extended their clinical work and identified a Chronic Miasm labeled the Lyme Miasm (or the Borrelia Miasm).
The pervasive nature of Lyme and
Autistic Spectrum Disorders leads me to recommend that all
children be considered at risk for disturbance of brain health
and behavior. For me, the ASD "spectrum" includes all
children, and only the lucky ones do not show evidence of
the many stresses and toxins that affect all children in our
modern world.

Movement, Play Activity is part of normal development and I can talk about this with parents. Some topics we can discuss include: FlexAware(R): Mind-body exercises. I am a certified FlexAware teacher [overview on clinical site]. Movement and Orgone Therapy: The American College of Orgonomy carries on the work of Wilhelm Reich, M.D. He showed the importance of the environment around the child and the "armoring" that develops in response to shocks and traumas. >> A.C.O. on Raising Healthy Children Doctors of Medical Heilkunst are skilled at assessing for what are called character analysis factors and helping guide the growth of healthy body awareness (this is good for adults too!). Developmental Movement Therapy: Whether for treatment to improve brain/neurological health or for a reminder of how important it is for kids to play and be active, this tells us the importance of creeping, crawling, and coordination activities. my description of this
