    Research like this gives me hope for people like my severely autistic son who has been missing development milestone after development milestone so a fear of mine is that he might eventually have to live in a group home once he’s strong enough to overpower us. If a treatment like this can manage symptoms enough to allow him to live independently that would be literally life changing

      It’s for gut issues like crohns not anything to do with emotional regulation or communication.

      Group homes are as good as their staff, interview everyone there. Visit him often. Living independently is not always for the best.
