[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP- I'm in the same boat as you. I have a 3.5 yr old with ASD. I love her to death, but taking care of her is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. It makes it even harder that I don't have a support network. I truly believe that ASD is a medical disorder that is treatable. My DC has serious gut problems and when they are under control the autistic behaviors are so much improved. ASD is not a diagnosis, as much as it is a label based on 3 behavioral criteria. There is no biologic marker to make a real diagnosis, so autism behaviors can have different causes like dysfunctional immunity leading to gut dysbiosis, genetics like Fragile X or Rett syndrome, cerebral folate deficiency, food sensitivities, or mitochondrial disorders. I hope you are seeing a geneticist to identify possible genetic causes, and seeing a DAN! to get bloodwork and OAT done to determine possible medical conditions causing your child's symptoms.
