The aim is to bring awareness and help educate our patients about proper nutrition and Autism.Autism is a complex condition which affects about 1 in every 110 children in the United States. There is no single cause, although the environment, genetics, medicine, and poor diet may play a significant role.Caring for a child with Autism can be challenging for both child and caregiver.

 Autism and Gut Health!
Autism is primarily a disruption in the brain. However, research has shown that gut bacteria may play a role in Autism symptoms. You may ask, how can this happen? Well, for starters, sufferers of Autism may have an imbalance in their gut bacteria that can may be from all kinds of toxic exposures, from heavy metals, the environment, medicine, food additives, food sensitivities, and possible nutritional deficiencies. If there is poor digestion and absorption of food, substances may pass into the blood stream and harm the brain causing potential symptoms of Autism. Foods that may be related to Autism are wheat, dairy, and gluten which can be difficult to digest. The first thing we would have to do is take note of your child's diet, behaviors, alongside all the foods they're eating. This can help to identify the suspects potential causing the autistic symptoms. Many parents who bring their children to the office have recognized a vast improvement in their children after changes were made in the diet. It's important to know that no two people with Autism will have the same set of symptoms, but there may be a few common characteristics that are familiar. Symptoms of Autism:Difficulty with social interactionHyper activity/ADHDLanguage impairmentRepetitive behaviorsImmune dysfunctionSleep and mood disordersOver or under sensitive to soundDifficulty dealing with change to routine

Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, DC
Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center
Dr. Gucciardo was born and raised in Queens, NY. He attended Archbishop Molloy Highschool where he played baseball and then went to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York to continue playing baseball at the Division 1 level and graduated from The Lubin School of Business with a BBA degree. In early childhood he had watched his brother receive chiropractic care from a local chiropractor because he was diagnosed with scoliosis in his early teen years. While receiving care, his brother also had other health benefits that amazed Dr. Gucciardo. Then one day while playing basketball at age 11, Dr. Gucciardo fell and injured his hip and lower back. He was checked out by the same chiropractor his brother was receiving care from. Some adjustments were made and things improved.
