A Long Way to Tacitus

Autism associated gastrointestinal disease afflicts the majority of children with ASD's. They are treatable conditions and understanding their role in ASD's may provide important clues as to the origin of the autism epidemic. Thanks to the singular efforts of Mrs. Mina Yabnkova Eneva-Lambovsky, the Tokuda Hospital in Sofia opened their doors to these families and as a result, 11 children were evaluated by Dr. Arthur Krigsman, who demonstrated for the first time in Bulgaria the presence of gastrointestinal patholgy in ASD's and shared his experience and knowledge with the hospital administration and staff in a series of lectures. Mrs. Lambovsky will discuss how one passionate mother can effect a change in the way the medical community views ASD's. Dr. Krigsman will then summarize his findings in the 11 children evaluated at Tokuda Hospital.
