Autism Treatments (Part 1)

Interviewer: Are there any treatments that you know that you should avoid? Doctor: Personally. Interviewer: Look, if you a kid have severely autistic and functioning, you could apply just anything. But, are there any things that you know from you every experience that you want that maybe to taking your money and not just apply to yourself? Are there any crazy therapies that you know that you should avoid? Doctor: Autism is the fastest growing business in this country. Interviewer: It is not became a business. Is not a disease anyway, it is a business. Doctor: It is that is why I look at it. There are more and more treatments crafting up. Interviewer: You have chelation. How we improve the chelation? Doctor: There is no evidence that collision works, but in fact there is an evidence that can be very harmful. There is a child with autism who died two years ago because of chelation. So, there is no evidence that chelation works. There is no evidence that a lot of the treatments work, but more importantly there is some evidence that some of these treatments are harmful. Interviewer: If sometime, they place something. Doctor: Auditory integration training. Interviewer: Good. What is that mean? Doctor: That means that eligibly, you are retraining the child themselves to be able to—children with autism often and many people will agree demonstrate hyper acute hearing. So for example, they are going to put their fingers in their ears because they do not like a sound or they will hear the siren before you hear it. So there is this belief, “Wow these kids have super hearing.” Therefore, auditory integration training will help that. Well, first of all the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association clearly says this is an experimental treatment that fast and it has been around for 15 years. So, how long is going to take before they kind to find evidence that it can work? So the two things about Auditory integration— Interviewer: Well, for the kid. Doctor: Well that is my point. The two things that I would warn people are, (1). It is going to be very expensive. And so you are taking in some cases $1500.00 to $2000.00 and expensing in all something that has no evidence of working. But more importantly, if you are going to do it, if you feel so compel to do it then make sure you go to somebody that speak language, pathologist and radiologist were they required by law to calibrate their equipment to standards that would not be dangerous to your ears. Interviewer: Because loud noises with a head phone that can actually take care of your ears. Doctor: That is right. Interviewer: What about some of the eye and hand coordination type of stuff? Doctor: There is a whole bunch. There is a prism glasses treatment. There is craniosacral therapy. And again, these are very appealing because they appeared to be quick fixes and there is this concept of lottery effect. Meaning, if you are not in it then you can win it. So you read about one child being cured because of swimming with the dolphins or getting mega vitamins or chelation therapy. And so you said yourself, “Well if I do not try it then my child would be the one who might be cured.” But that is a dangerous attitude to take because there is evidence now. Think about medications, I think about Fenfluramine back in the 70s. A lot of our kids here even two wearing the Fenfluramine study. Well now, we find out that Fen-Phen, Fenfluramine have dangerous long term effects. Half of the medications that are being use on children with autism are proved to be use for children under the age of whatever. So I think there is some real dangerous to thinking that I do not try and my child does not have a chance because two things happen. One is you try things that actually are dangerous and two, you do not try things that we know work because you are busy chasing the magic bullet. And we know that apply behavior analysis works. It is tedious. It is intensive. It is time consuming. It feels hard, but we do know it works. And we know that speech language therapy could parent training. So th
