What is autism?

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the ability to communicate and interact with the world around them. It manifests itself in early childhood, before the age of 3, and is diagnosed by the symptoms of the autism spectrum that appear during this period. Older children, teenagers, and adults do not develop autism.

Autism can range from mild to severe. It occurs about four to five times more often in boys than in girls. Autism is characterized by difficulty perceiving the world around it, often accompanied by delayed intellectual development.

The key to treating autism is early recognition of the signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorders in infants and young children.

Join our cause!

We believe that every child deserves a chance to be understood, accepted and loved for who they are. With heart, dedication and together with our partners and like-minded people, we are building a better future for children with autism.

Is autism a disease or a disorder?

Autism is a disorder, not a disease. There are a number of cognitive disorders that fall into the autism category, such as autistic spectrum disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, and Asperger syndrome, among others.

The most common symptoms of autism are:

Avoidance of eye contact;
Has difficulty understanding what is said to him;
Avoids social interaction;
Avoids interaction with peers;
Focuses on a single topic;
Does not understand social cues;
A distinctive posture, facial expression, or giggling;
Repetition of the same words or phrases;
Has difficulty learning new things;
Slow speech development;
Monotonous speech;
Problems with two-way communication.

Signs of autism in young children

In some newborns, early signs of autism may appear in the first few months, while in other children they may appear 15 to 30 months after birth. The early warning signs and symptoms of autism are recognizable.

Living with autism

Although experts say autism is a condition, not a disease, there are treatments (medical and educational) that can help improve their condition. Having autism spectrum disorders does not mean your child cannot lead an independent and productive life. With the right therapies and interventions, people with mild to moderate symptoms can complete their education, and people with below-average abilities can do specialized work and live independently.

HTMA test

The HTMA test is a test for mineral balance and the presence of heavy metals in hair. It is performed in order to determine the presence and balance of minerals at the cellular level. The disturbed mineral balance also affects the absorption of hormones in the cell. This, in people on the autism spectrum, is associated with the appearance of constant stress, irritability, anger, anxiety, fear, impaired digestion, difficulty defecating, muscle pain, changes in mood and behavior.

Stem cells

This is a therapy that offers relief from the symptoms of autism. Stem cells are characterized by their ability to transform into different types of body cells, allowing for the repair or improvement of damaged or dysfunctional tissues. Stem cell therapies focus on neurological function and condition, which can lead to improvements in the behavioral and communication skills of patients.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) IN THE BAROCHAMBER

Studies have shown reduced cerebral perfusion, increased neuroinflammation, inflammation throughout the GI tract, and increased oxidative stress in individuals with autism. Reduced blood flow to the temporal lobe and areas specifically associated with language comprehension and auditory processing. Reduced blood flow to these areas may contribute to many of the features common to autism listed above. HBOT delivers 100% pure oxygen to the body through elevated atmospheric pressure, saturating the plasma and oxygenating the entire body. Studies have shown that HBOT reduces systemic inflammation, reduces oxidative stress, and increases circulating stem cells by up to 800% after twenty sessions, leading to the potential for regrowth of certain brain cells.
