We believe that families challenged by autism are entitled to accurate and timely information, require emotional and practical support from other families struggling with comparable challenges, and often need advocacy assistance and training to maximize availability and utilization of treatment, educational and vocational possibilities required by law.

I believe that this group should include all the so called "Shadow Syndromes" which includes the Autism Spectrum Diagnoses [PDDs], CAPD, SID, ADD, ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, Bipolar and more.

The Center is not open to the public at this time. It will be exclusively open to our group.

Colon Hydrotherapy with an OPEN SYSTEM, High Enema, it is very important to understand that we need to get our children Hydrated.
