The Autism Biomedical Discussion group has been created for the discussion of research and biomedical interventions as they apply to the investigation and treatment of autistic spectrum disorders. The ultimate purpose for this group is to empower parents and physicians to make informed decisions on biomedical treatments for the children in their care.

Topics of discussion include immunology, endocrinology, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, metabolic and mitochondrial issues, genetics, exposure to neurotoxins, possible vaccine injury, dietary and nutritional protocols, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical interventions. All topics of discussion need to be specific to addressing diagnostic and treatment protocols for individuals with autism.

Please be advised that group discussions can involve technical, scientific and/or medical terminology. Parents, physicians and researchers are encouraged to participate. Anyone with an interest in solving the mystery of autism is welcome.

This list is NOT for discussion of behavioral or educational interventions, or for the discussion of occupational and speech therapies. It is requested that you refrain from these topics during discussions on this list.

ABMD is not affiliated with nor endorses any particular autism related non-profit or for-profit organizations, nor does this group promote or endorse a specific method or treatment for autism.
