Biomedical Approaches

Many parents believe that biomedical interventions help their child's autism.
Traditional medicine and physicians have pretty much always turned their backs on biomedical interventions -- many
parents swear by it and feel that their children have benefited greatly from therapies that include removing gluten and
casein. In addition, some parents believe that a regimen of certain vitamins help their children immensely. It is a
commonly known fact that many children with autism experience an inordinate amount of gastrointestinal problems
that include severe constipation.

One of the theories with autism is that children with the disorder cannot properly absorb certain minerals and/or
metals in their bodies. A few studies conducted have suggested that chronic gastrointestinal problems actually
reduce absorption amounts of nutrients and create problems with the immune and general metabolic functions.

The above  points to autism being a medical disorder rather then a behavioral/mental disorder.  As with any other
medical disorder you would treat to heal with the use of appropriate dietary and environmental intervention together
with biomedical treatment.
