Over three years of dedicated work, Vicky and Warner's mother implemented personalized dietary changes and holistic therapies, leading to remarkable improvements in Warner's behaviour and cognitive abilities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying health issues that can contribute to severe symptoms often misattributed to autism, such as inflammation and histamine intolerance. Vicky highlights the significance of individualized approaches to treatment, the role of hydration, and the impact of foundational health practices. The episode serves as a beacon of hope for parents navigating similar challenges, showcasing that healing and functional development are possible through commitment and tailored interventions. KEY TAKEWAYS Healing Journey: The process of healing behavioural and learning symptoms in children with neurodevelopmental disorders is a long-term journey that requires patience and understanding. Dietary Considerations: A personalized approach to diet is crucial for children with autism and ADHD. Common dietary recommendations, such as a paleo diet, may not be suitable for all children, especially those with specific intolerances like histamine or salicylates. Importance of Hydration: Many children with neurodevelopmental disorders are often dehydrated, which can exacerbate symptoms. Underlying Health Issues: Behavioural symptoms may be linked to underlying health issues, such as infections (e.g., strep) or digestive problems. BEST MOMENTS That isn't autism.
