Autism Treatment in Orlando
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition that affects communication, learning, and social interactions. Children with autism may also experience gut issues, immune challenges, and developmental delays.
Symptoms often become noticeable in early childhood and can vary greatly. Common signs include difficulty with communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors, which may affect family, social, or school life.
Finding Contributing Factors for Autism
While the exact cause of autism is unknown, several factors may increase the likelihood of developing ASD. These include genetic mutations, low birth weight, maternal stress during pregnancy, and exposure to toxins. Dr. Santos focuses on understanding these factors and creating personalized care plans to help children find relief and balance. Though research has improved, many environmental factors like prenatal stress and early antibiotic exposure remain understudied. Autism is more common in boys than girls and does not correlate with race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background.
A Neurological Focus and Root Causes
Our team takes a neurologically-focused approach, going beyond traditional methods to address root causes like subluxation and dysautonomia. By focusing on the autonomic nervous system and the vagus nerve, we aim to restore neurological balance, helping improve overall function and well-being. Many parents work on gut health and diet to support their child with autism, but we’ve seen that neurological dysfunction often occurs first, disrupting the gut-brain connection. Chiropractic care helps children with autism relax and engage better by balancing their nervous systems.
