Imagine your child's body is like a car engine. Sometimes the engine runs rough not because of the steering wheel (behaviors), but because it's missing oil (vitamins), has clogged filters (gut problems), or rusty parts (inflammation). Biomedical treatment checks for these inside issues—like low vitamins that make them cranky, tummy bacteria out of whack causing belly pain and bad moods, or extra stress chemicals harming brain cells—and fixes them with tests and simple changes. This works with regular therapies like ABA (learning through play and rewards) or OT (helping with daily skills) but makes them work better because your child isn't fighting pain or tiredness anymore.

PANS means your child's brain gets "attacked" by their own immune system after a germ, causing overnight changes: non-stop worries (OCD), huge rages (like flipping a switch), twitches (tics), forgetting old skills, peeing pants again, or refusing all food.

Autism kids sometimes have extra "alert" chemicals (cytokines); PANS is full immune storm on brain. Tummy germs stir both.

Most doctors follow CDC rules and focus on therapies to help behaviors—like ABA to teach social skills or meds for super high energy or disruptive behaviors... That's great, but it skips checking the body. A biomedical approach adds blood tests, stool analysis, organic acid testing, etc. for things like missing iron (which makes kids act "hyper" because they're exhausted) or gut leaks (that let bad stuff irritate the brain). We see these in 7-9 out of 10 autism kids!

Same as PANS but kicked off by strep throat germs. The body makes "soldier" antibodies that mix up and poke the brain's movement/feelings area, like friendly fire.

Picture trying to teach a kid piano while they're starving or have a bad headache—they can't focus! If your child's meltdowns come from tummy pain, no sleep from low vitamins, or foggy thinking from inflammation, therapy feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Fix the body first (like giving the right fuel), and behaviors often calm down, making every therapy session count more.

Perfect match! Fix body pain first, then therapy clicks better—like practicing soccer without blisters.

Doctors start with simple blood draws (like a quick finger prick or arm poke) to check common problems we can easily fix. These show up wrong in most autism kids and explain why they might be extra fussy or tired:

Many blood tests/meds paid by insurance (use autism code F84.0 or PANDAS D89.89); Supplements average an extra $200-500/month. Additional test such as comprehensive stool analysis or organic oat testing may cost $250-500. Unfortunately, most commercial insurance companies do not find value in testing for root cause issues that contribute to these conditions. Finding a trained clinician to guide you through testing is most beneficial.

If your child has ongoing poop problems (hard, loose, or hurts), won't eat certain foods, or seems in belly pain: get a stool test for inflammation (calprotectin—like a fire alarm in the gut), digestion power (elastase), and bad germs. Tummy troubles hit 8 out of 10 autism kids and send "irritated" messages straight to the brain, making behaviors worse.

Yes, if there's family brain issues, seizures, odd facial features, or sudden setbacks: chromosomal microarray or fragile X test. It spots rare fixable conditions that look like autism. Additionally genomic testing (different from whole genome DNA testing) can be very beneficial to explain variants or SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that may signal potential risks and benefits that lie within your DNA.

80% of autism kids have belly pain, constipation (like holding a rock inside), or diarrhea—these hurt so much they trigger big tantrums or refusal to learn. Wrong gut germs (dysbiosis) send "danger" signals to the brain through nerves and blood, ramping up anxiety picky eating and self-injurious behaviors.

They often hate textures/tastes (picky eating) + tummy leaks bad stuff = missing brain foods like B-vitamins (for calm), vitamin D (for sleep), iron (no more dragging feet), zinc (fights germs). Fixing this is like giving the right gas to a car—it runs smoother.

Science reviews say yes for some: no-gluten/no-dairy (GFCF) seals leaky tummies in kids with belly pain, cutting irritation by 20-40%. Low-sugar or specific carb diets fix germ overgrowth. Not magic but helps subsets feel less "on fire" inside.
