interested in any suggestions on natural supplements as well as a good probiotic {all in one if possible} that autistic kids need; something that actually works. Anyone ever used simple spectrum nutritional supplements?{https://simplespectrumsupplement.com}. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm in the process of deciding to take my daughter off medication

I am all hands on deck regarding all natural supplements and foods. I believe it will be understood as the cure for many of the autisms. I’m currently in the process of doing a very detailed process for my non verbal severely autistic low functioning almost 18yr old with encephalitis (say that 5 times fast!!).
My question to answer your question is: why are you choosing to take her off of meds right now?
My son is on two meds and trust me, the first thought of doing the same came to mind. But in my sons case I thought about one thing. Taking him off the med AND starting a nutrition/ mineral change might set off false positives/ negatives in my trials. I could mistake “weening” off the drugs as a negative reaction to a good food or a nutrient.
Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

Hi, I haven't tried those supplements. The only probiotic I have given to my kid is Culturelle, which her doctor recommended and works great for her but she is 4.
