The High Cost of Raising an Autistic Child

Research has shown that the extra cost to a family with an autistic child is staggering.
$32 MILLION is the cost of taking care of an autistic person over her or his lifetime.
That can easily be $100,000/year.

Direct costs including health care is $29,000 plus a year.
Direct non-medical costs such as special education, camps, child care is $38,000 plus.

Indirect costs are more.

Loss productivity from the difference between someone with autism and someone without it and from the loss from parents work due to reduced hours, or not working altogether range from $39,000 to over $100,000.

Autism is a devastating disorder for the family in both emotional stress and cost. Society must also handle the cost.

Autism can often be improved. Imagine what that does for the individual, the family, and for society.

Dr. Gilman gives talks on autism. He explains how brain hemisphericity is a major factor in autism. This brain imbalance can be improved through Brain Based Therapy. That is exciting news for those with autism. The severity can be lessened! Everyone benefits.

Immune and autoimmune Problems

Many health conditions are due to hyper, hypo or imbalanced immune responses. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, restless leg syndrome, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cholesterol (inflammation), arthritis, digestive issues, dizziness and vertigo,hypothyroid, cancer, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac, and lupus to name a few.

Immune responses affect the nervous system.



Our approach is to test for functional neurological imbalances and to check for metabolic/immune problems.



Often conditions that do not respond to drugs for symptom can be helped by using brain based therapy and metabolic care.
