	Understanding Autism
		While there is no cure for autism, and researchers are unsure of its cause, a variety of therapies and resources are available to help kids with autism and their families.
		Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it affects kids in different ways, at different levels of severity, regarding their ability to communicate, process thoughts, and interact socially.
		Because autism is difficult to recognize and diagnose, it's important that families seek an evaluation by a medical professional who is experienced in diagnosing and treating the disorder as soon as possible.

	Biomedical intervention for autism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basis for this form of intervention is a restrictive diet that allows for normal absorption of nutrients; but a number of accompanying therapies are also popular.
		Biomedical intervention for autism consists of a wide range of therapeutic approaches for treating - and some say curing - autism in children, adolescents, and possibly adults.
		This gave rise to the notion of the "leaky gut" cause of autism, in which the gastrointestinal walls have been compromised, allowing for incompletely broken down and thereby toxic protein chains to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

	Autism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Remediation of the debilitating aspects of autism is hindered by widespread disagreement over its nature and causes, and by a lack of recognized and effective therapies.
		Autism presents in a wide degree, from those who are nearly dysfunctional and apparently mentally handicapped to those whose symptoms are mild or remedied enough to appear unexceptional ('normal') to the general public.
		Autism has evolved in the public understanding, but the popular identification of autism with relatively severe cases as accurately presented in Rain Man has encouraged relatives of family members diagnosed in the autistic spectrum to speak of their loved ones as having Asperger's syndrome rather than autism.

	The KID Foundation - News & Events
		In the recent past, many private, commercial health insurers have denied claims for these therapies granted through this mandate to treat autism by claiming that autism didn't fit the criteria they used to be considered a congenital defect.
		"Acknowledgement by the State of Colorado health plans that autism is congenital anomaly is a big victory for families in Colorado," said ASC Executive Director Betty Lehman.
		Anthem, Cigna, Rocky Mountain Health Plans and United Healthcare, at the request of the Autism Society of Colorado (ASC) and Family Voices of Colorado, agree that they would no longer deny claims for ST, OT and PT on the grounds that autism is not a congenital defect.

		Various sensory therapies have been developed to help people with Autism improve their visual and auditory processing and integration capacities, such as Vision Therapies for stribizmus, which is common in children with Autism and Auditory Integration Therapy.
		The sensorimotor problems of Autism often exist as hidden under-arousal and visible over-arousal in relation to environment.
		Both clinical neurological and sensorimotor therapy research reveals a functional sequence of how sensory input is recieved by the peripheral and central nervous system, which consists of how the sensory organs of our eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin and other motor receptors throughout our bodies transmit input to the spine.

	WFFF03
		Though wholly discredited today, the "refrigerator mother" diagnosis condemned thousands of autistic children to questionable therapies, and their mothers to a long nightmare of self-doubt and guilt.
		That's what happened to a generation of mothers in the 1950s and '60s, when medical orthodoxy blamed autism on the mother's failure to bond with her child.
		This led him to posit that autism was a psychological disturbance arising from detached and "frigid" mothering — something akin to how prisoners reacted to the cold authority of camp guards.
