The 3-day class will address all of the following critical topics:

  • Neurotypical development – you have to know normal neurodevelopment in order to recognize early warning signs of ASD.
  • Understand what Autism Spectrum Disorders are and are not. You’ll cut through the myths and misconceptions about ASD and be able to speak a common language with other professionals.
  • The puzzle of Autistic Spectrum Disorder symptoms—what they mean and how they can guide your testing and treatment.
  • Possible causes of Autism – Knowing the possible etiologies streamlines your diagnostic and treatment approach
  • Risk factors for ASD
  • Genetics of ASD: How much do they matter? The answer will surprise you.
  • Epigenetics and ASD: Environmental influences
  • SNPs and ASD – Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms are all the rage right now…you’ll learn which SNPs—if any—are relevant to treating a child with ASD
  • Vaccines and Autism – The reality of the controversial connection between Vaccines and ASD —and how to use this knowledge to efficiently prioritize treatment in ASD
  • What exactly goes wrong in Autism? Learn the spectrum of Metabolic Malfunctions and how to recognize them in your patient: Gastrointestinal, Immunological, Endocrine
  • What happens in the gut happens in the brain: The Gut-Brain-Gut Axis
  • Bioenergetic and Mitochondrial dysfunction – The role of ATP, free radicals, and oxidative damage.
  • Barrier Permeability – Leaky gut, leaky brain, leaky sinus, leaky lung: how to detect which barriers are compromised and what to do to heal them
  • Gluten and Casein Sensitivity—Both are well-established problems in ASD. You’ll understand WHY they affect brain function and how to implement the GF/CF diet effectively.  The opposite viewpoint will also be discussed
  • Food Sensitivities — beyond gluten and dairy. Learn which foods can negatively affect brain function
  • The Fungal/Yeast/Candida problem –  Understand how fungi and yeast overgrowths affect brain function, and learn how to recognize the signs & symptoms of this very common problem in ASD
  • Gastrointestinal infections and Bacterial Overgrowths – learn the difference between actual SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) dysbiosis and pathogenic infections.
  • Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies and Insufficiencies
  • Heavy Metal Toxicity – How many kids actually have this? Should you test? Should you treat it?
  • The role of B12, Folate, and Methylation
  • The role of Autoimmunity and Immune System Dysregulation in ASD – determining the presence of this factor is critical in the successful treatment of a child with ASD
  • The Appropriate clinical tests to use in evaluating a child with ASD.
  • You’ll learn when to order, how to order, and how to interpret the following tests:
    • Blood chemistry
    • Urinary Organic Acids
    • Stool testing
    • Food sensitivities
    • Specialized testing: metals, chemicals, histamine, pyrroles
  • Which ASD symptoms and behaviors reliably correlate with specific metabolic/neurochemical problems.
  • The Top 4 Treatment Priorities in ASD – when you know these you’ll never get lost or confused about what to do next
  • The ‘Ex Juvantibus’ Method – you’ll learn this rational and economical investigative method.
  • The ASD Toolbox – you’ll have a comprehensive list of the tests, diets and supplements taught in the class that you can use as an easy reference.
  • Integrated Effective Treatment Plans for managing patients with ASD. How to use specific supplementation and diets to treat and manage the wide spectrum of physiological alterations in ASD
  • The most effective Diet and Supplement interventions: Dr. Clark’s 16 years of experience.
  • How and When to do follow up visits and re-testing of labs (if any).
  • The Long-Term Vision support of a child with ASD. Working with a child with ASD is not a short-term, acute care kind of doctor-patient relationship. The trained practitioner can be a guiding light for years in the life of a child with ASD. You’ll learn how to be that influence
  • A Special Section on the PREVENTION OF ASD.
