Hi, I came across your post following links from JB Handley's Substack. I'm grateful that profound autism is now circulating in news and social media, raising awareness of the challenges and differences from high functioning autism. I have a profoundly autistic 9 year old pre-verbal boy, and have managed to mitigate many of his symptoms through diet and lifestyle changes, but there's more to be done and some links still missing. Your statement in this article that you know what is needed to bridge the gap caught my eye and I'd appreciate if you could share more information on that.

Hi Marianne (lovely name ๐Ÿ˜Š). Yes, Iโ€™m also grateful that profound autism is now expanding in awareness. There are many things that can help these children. Have you heard of the Melillo Method? Photobiomodulation? Also, based on what you mentioned about how youโ€™ve helped your son improve through diet, you might know about the microbiome and how specific gut bacteria transforms the function of the autistic brain. Iโ€™m happy to chat with you more. We can discuss this on a phone call or Zoom or email if that helps. dr.maryanne@shiozawawellness.com
