Functional Disconnect Found in Autism
Dr. Petryk’s Thoughts: As mentioned in several other postings, most of these disorders (ADD/ADHD, Autism, etc) are functional problems and not pathological therefore: most all are treatable based on a functional neurology model and not a pharmaceutical model.
Dr. Robert Melillo is one of the premier authorities on these issues. He has also published a great book titled, “Disconnected Kids.” This book is written with the parent in mind. It explains these “disconnects” and proves suggestions for both evaluating and treating these conditions however: as Dr. Melillo states, never make the diagnosis yourself. Seek the opinion of someone trained in Functional Neurology, i.e. Chiropractic Neurologist. You can go to www.acnb.org and then click on the Physician Locator found in the left column. Follow the instructions from there.
