    Dr. Mumper is looking for answers.

    In 1979, Dr. Mumper was a medical student, she was told to see told to the patient with autism at the children’s treatment center. At the time, the condition was so rare it might be the only case she’d encounter in her entire career. Prevalence was 1 in 5,000.

    In a new article published in the Journal of Independent Medicine, Dr. Mumper traces what changed and what the medical establishment has been slow to recognize: that autism is not just a psychiatric diagnosis. Children with autism often have treatable medical conditions, including gut inflammation, immune dysregulation, metabolic abnormalities, and mitochondrial dysfunction. When those conditions are identified and addressed, the improvements can be dramatic. Some children no longer meet the diagnostic criteria at all.
