Almost Autism: The Key to Stopping the Autism Epidemic in Its Tracks

In this blog post, Executive Director, Beth Lambert, wrote about how Epidemic AnswersDocumenting Hope Project can help document children’s symptom improvement from autism, ADHD, asthma, atopic dermatitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, mood disorders and type 2 diabetes.

The key to helping children heal is having people understand that it’s not just kids with autism and their families who are affected. “The key to stopping the autism epidemic in its tracks lies in helping them to see that their mildly affected children are really ‘almost autism’.

We are all (in our own unique way) a part of an epidemic of chronic illness, and our children . . . they are our little Canaries.” You can read the entire piece here, and if you’d like to help us prove that children can get better, you can contribute here.
