What’s Causing Behaviors?

Many of our kids can’t communicate what they’re experiencing and can display many behaviors when they’re not feeling well or in distress.

So, how can we get to the bottom of what’s causing this?

There is often a medical cause, and we shouldn’t just chalk behaviors up to their autism.

What root causes are there?

·        Pain which can come from dental problems, an ear infection, abdominal issues, and headaches

·        Seizures

·        Gastrointestinal Distress from conditions like constipation, reflux, colitis, and dysbiosis

·        Infections like Lyme, Candida, and Strep Causing PANS/PANDAS

·        Vitamin/Mineral Deficiencies

·        Medications/Supplements

·        Hormonal Imbalances such as an adrenal and thyroid disturbances

·        Neurochemical disruption

·        Food Sensitivities such as gluten and casein

·        Anxiety/OCD

·        Low Blood Sugar/Low Cholesterol

·        Toxicity with Impaired Detox Pathways

Certainly, there is quite a bit to work through to figure out what’s causing your child’s agitation.

We as parents know our kids best and a change in behavior is usually how they express discomfort.

Obtaining a thorough history of what led to aggression can help determine the cause.

Testing may need to be done to find out if there’s a metabolic abnormality triggering this.

As part of the Autism Healing Program, we work through all of these possibilities to support and guide you to find these root causes and address them.
