Showes how much of a doctor you are. My sons sees Dr. Neubrander who is the pioneer in Biomedical intervension and guess what since his treatment his diagnosis has been changed from autism to ADHD. He is not the same boy he understands everything, talks, plays, everything normal. I cant believe its him, he has a chance for a normal life. We found out he was allergic to dairy and had candida. Also he had a lack of essential vitamins and had high levels of metals. Which I believe was from his shots. Doctors are scared of DAN doctors because they can cure in some cases and help in alot of Autism children and expose the bad things they do. Like giving antibiotics without probiotics to mentain a healthy digestive system. Find a good DAN doctor and help your son. Best Regards from one monther to another

First and foremost, I would suggest that your son be screened by a specialist in developmental disabilities.  Not walking by 2 and having limited communication skills is very concerning.  It seems you are in or near the Washington area.  If this is the case there is a very well known autism center at the University of Washington (website: http://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/).  They offer a number of services from developmental screening to educational and clinical services.  I suggest you start there.

Though it was suggested that you seek a DAN! doctor, I would not recommend anyone with that "training."  Biomedical intervention for any developmental issue should be backed by sound scientific research and that has not been my experience with any DAN doctor.

Best of luck.

I would have he checked out for Autism if he has it the earlier the intervention the better. Biomedical intervention works for these children but the earlier the better the chances. Find a good DAN doctor they will help you through the process. I hope it works out for you. My son as Autism and he is 9 I waited too long to get a good DAN doc. but I had no one to help me, I wish I knew then what I know now.
