A bit of an anecdote: my husband has two sons from a prior marriage. Younger son is married and has a four year old who has been tentatively diagnosed with autism. We have read up on it, and there might be some things that can be done from a nutritional standpoint that could help. We think he is childhood vaxxine injured.

Older son works with autistic kids and has a psychology degree. He is skeptical that any kind of alternative therapy can work, and is having a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that it could be the childhood vaxxines.

So much for university degrees. That being said, the older son is smart, and may eventually be open to other ideas.
