Nutrition for Autism with Dr. Danielle ND

Look for sudden changes in children’s behaviour.

Welcome! If you are a parent or caregiver of a child with ASD and want to help them thrive through healthy nutrition and dietary benefits specific to ASD, I welcome you for some open discussion and support from likewise individuals. Full disclosure, I am a liscensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years with experience in using biomedical treatment and clean/healthy eating as a tool in helping children with autism reach their full potential. I have training through the Medica...l Academy of Pediatric Special Needs and have a full time practice treating children with ASD. I am not selling anything, but just want to offer an open forum for parents curious about what the research shows will benefit your child and unfortuantely what may be holding them back. I will answer your questions to the best of my ability but really would like this to be a place that you can come for support from others. This has been a request by a number of my patients for a while and think that if others can benefit from the support given, if this can possibly change even one childs life for the better, then it's all worth it in the end! Things to Remember: 1. You are not alone! 2.The only secret to success is hard work! 3. You are enough just as you are right now! 4. You only have two choices: quit or be patient! Welcome and get ready to build a supportive community for you and your child! XO Dr. Danielle ND
