How did you know that your child could be helped? Someone told you the truth.

How did you know that autism is treatable and that children with autism can significantly improve or recover? Someone told you the truth.

And after a decade of service to you, your child, and your family, that is what we at AutismOne are here to do in 2012 -- present you with the truth... the truth that leads to treatment.

The truth is that there is hope.

Care for the Caregivers Lounge

This May we are taking our idea of providing a fun and relaxing environment for parents and caregivers to the next level!

From special giveaways for the ladies (think vitamins & nail polish) to warm GFCF treats from some of our favorite brands (think Udi's, So Delicious Dairy Free & Allergy Free Foods) to getting the chance meet and ask questions of the knowledgeable staff at Enzymedica, Dr. Kartzinel of Kartzinel Health, BioRay and Biocidin; to meeting the creators of Healthy Souls flip-flops for a cause.

And for the kiddos, this year we're kicking up the fun factor a notch and including a mini playground for kids of all ages provided by KOMPAN.

Oh....did we mention that Jenny McCarthy will be in the lounge to meet parents & sign books on Saturday!

Featured Speakers & Sessions

KEYNOTE: The Micobial Track with Luc Montagnier

Friday, May 25 – 11:30am

There is in the blood of most autistic children-but not in healthy children-DNA sequences that emit, in certain conditions, electromagnetic waves. A therapy first started by a group of independent clinicians and now performed in conjunction with laboratory observations reinforces the idea that systemic bacterial infections play a role in the genesis of symptoms of autism. ?

Adrenals and a Review of Other Hormones Including Thyroid and Growth Hormone

Sunday, May 27 - 12:30pm

Dr. West will discuss the hormonal pathways and how they have been affected by chronic illness and stress. We will focus mostly on the adrenals. People are scared of the word hormone, but remember, this includes "STRESS " hormones. One of the reasons good fats are so important is because fats are the precursors to our hormones. We will discuss how this allows for inflammation to persist, including what I call "mental inflammation." We all know how much inflammation plays a role in our children's illness.
