Stop Calling It Autism! with Juan Rodriguez

The Stop Calling It Autism! Website home page says, “Evidence indicates that children with autism suffer from an ongoing neuroinflammatory process in different regions of the brain involving microglial activation. Microglial activation results in a loss of connections between the neurons, reducing their function and leading to what is known as autism.” For everyone who thought that “autism” wasn’t a useful diagnostic label to begin with AND for those who need to hear this information, this will be a very important program. Guest Juan Rodriguez, founder and director of Stop Calling It Autism!, will talk about what autism REALLY is, including the recent study he coauthored with Dr. Janet Kern, “Evidence of microglial activation in autism and its possible role in brain underconnectivity.” Knowing the REAL cause leads to REAL treatment.

Approximately 1 child in 91 is diagnosed with autism, which gives autism the undesired ranking as the most prevalent childhood developmental disorder in the United States. 67 children will be diagnosed today - that is nearly 1 child every 20 minutes.
