Autism spectrum disorders are rising exponentially, and greater awareness and better diagnostics don't appear to explain the increase. Autism alone has risen in Australia from 64,400 in 2009 to 164,000 in 2015 with studies in the United States indicating that as many as 1 in 110 children are now affected. Parents are crying out for greater help than merely medicating their loved ones can offer, and this is exactly where Dr Elisa Song's passion lies. As a Paediatrician with two vibrant kids, she is keenly aware of the pain caused by autism, ASD and associated neuro-behavioural disorders. In today's podcast, Dr Song explores the controversies, the major issues, and gives some answers for practitioners wanting to offer better care for their patients with neuro-cognitive issues.Find today's transcript and show notes here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/content/integrative-paediatrics-autism-spectrum-disorders-dr-elisa-song *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
