Autism File - June/July 2017

En este asunto

Welcome to our June/July issue! This issue features strategies for preventing autism from top experts along with a biomedical update from Dr. Richard Frye on metabolic abnormalities in autism. These abnormalities can not only be diagnostic for ASD, but can also point towards treatments. We also have a report from independent journalist Jeremy R. Hammond on his attempts to obtain scientific studies from the American Academy of Pediatrics to substantiate its vaccine safety claims. And with summertime upon us, Deirdre Imus is here to provide strategies and tips for staying safe in the sun without ruining the fun!

Autism File Magazine Description:

The Autism File has often been called a “lifeline” for those in desperate need of resources and support, with content providing parents, siblings, educators, therapists, and caregivers with much needed information in supporting an individual diagnosed with autism.

Each Autism File covers a diverse range of topics relevant to autism including:
