Tests showed tht my son had high levels of mercury, arsenic, and aluminum, so our doctor did chelation therapy with oral DMSA. Leaving these toxins in his body could have caused long-term health problems. After three years of chelation therapy, his levels were finally normal. We also did methyl B12 shots and found them very helpful because they healed nerve damage. Within a month of starting B12 shots, my son was finally able to toilet independently because he could feel the urge to go. Biomedical therapy has worked for him.

Actually, up to 20% of high functioning kids can lose diagnosis and become indistinguishable from peers regardless of intervention. Three published studies on that. It is unclear what makes these kids so different.

Similarly there are plenty of recovery stories out there using Mb12 and chelation, whether you want to believe it or not, is a different matter. But realistically, the goal should be incremental improvements.

We saw huge gains, mostly cognitive and speech changes, with MB12 and AC protocol and I think these are safe enough for most to try, but you need to know what you are doing and have doctor supervision and periodic testing.

I've known many people that have done chelation, vitamin b-12 shots and gluten diet. None of them worked. Just love your child, do the 5 E's: Enable them, Embrace their diagnosis, Engage them with the community, Expand your knowledge, and teach them how to Express themselves. It's hard, requires a lot of work, but pays off. I was told so many things by professionals that my son wouldn't do. I proved them wrong. All of these get quick fixes are just ways for people to take money from us out of the desperation that we have. Good luck.

@A MyAutismTeam Member, I helped my son make eye contact through Social Stories, Behavior Modification, and just constant reminding. He's much better now, and I did it without injections. It just takes time but it's possible.

I know nothing will cure Autism but if a change in diet or B12 injection improves eye contact, behavior and speech I'll take it any day.
