1. Abnormalities  of  metabolism

Defeat Autism Now has defused that the autistic children are carrier of anomalies at the level of their metabolism. Where from the possible explanation of benefactions of various supplements and minerals as well as the approaches other than behavioral.

This triangle establishes the existence of a link between problems of physical order and behavior disorders. Dr Michael Gershon moreover said in his book that “intestines are a second brain”.

These last years, we have learnt that the human brain answers to experiences. In a very few days, a new skill causes measurable effects on the cerebral functioning: certain regions of the brain answer to new stimulus. The first five years are crucial in term of learning for the child. Experiences stimulate the construction of neuronal regions, which allows to improve  skills and automatisms required for the execution of an action. So, we can say that experiences model the brain and, on base of our common behavior,  neuronal networks of our brain are developing themselves. These networks improve response modes to the most frequently met stimuli. Experience made of rewards and reactions of the environment is also a part of this process. From the first yea...
