I read this blog post about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments for young children with autism. I thought it was fairly interesting. There was some good and some bad coming out of the studies. Most importantly I think that CAM is a good addition to traditional treatment, which is what happened in this study. Things such as acupuncture and dietary supplements were used as CAM treatments. But also injections and other potentially harmful ways of treatment. These kids in this study are so young and its scary to think about special diets and invasive procedures at such a young age. I would be cautious as a parent as to what treatments were best for my child.
