Sara DiFucci didn't start using "biomedical" interventions because she thought they would cure her daughter Amanda's autism spectrum disorder. Her motivation was simply "to treat the metabolic train wreck inside her body."
But "it just so happened that as I (used alternative interventions) my child began to lose her 'autistic symptoms,'" DiFucci wrote. "Many just disappeared such as the toe walking, hitting herself in the head and eczema."
