Rob, Debra and Michael Sidell open and produce an informative show by reviewing articles about the high financial and emotional stress that comes with having a child with an ASD diagnosis, cheap DNA tests and their use by the insurance industry, how music training can help with developing reading skills, how placebo effects are real and grossly under estimated, artificial antibodies, a review of a book about depression, chronic disease now affecting one quarter of America's children, more benefits of fish oil and Omega-3's and a statement by Mark Blaxill of Age of Autism on the Wakefield matter.

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
