Steps to treat Autism

There are many treatments for autism. Although we might get through trial and error, there are a few steps that are already commonly used to treat children with autism.
1. Biomedical treatment
Providing supplements or vitamins such as enzymes, calcium, magnesium, zinc, probiotics, fatty acid, vitamin C, vitamin B6 - B12. These supplements tends to help the lack of minerals and vitamins that support the body to perform its function.
2. Behavioral Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis will help autistic children to develop eye contact and to do simple command in order to get involved with their environment.
3. Gluten Free Casein Free (GFCF) Diet.
We eliminate food that is made of the wheat family and also milk off the daily diet.
4. Chelation
Chelation can help to detoxify the body of the potentially toxic elements, such as Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Tin, Silver and etc.
5. Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration is the process of organizing sensory inputs so that the brain produces useful body response, and also useful perceptions, emotions and thoughts. A large part of a child's capacity for learning is the ability to integrate sensory information. When providing intervention using sensory integration, we want the child to learn how to use his brain more effectively and easily. The child learns how to organize his brain so that it will work better.
