Parents,

I have serious concerns about a physician who claims he knows what

CAUSES autism and that he has a CURE. He is the only one in the world.

Many of my students were patients of his and I have yet to see

anything positive. He promises parents that their child will be

talking in six months and years later-- no expressive language. He

puts children on Valtrex for herpes virus 6 which he says resides in

the middle ear of children with autism. With all the children I worked

with, this protocol made them super aggressive and stimmy and I spent

months resolving behavior problems instead of teaching. He has no

published research, no papers or research that has been peer reviewed

and no studies that have replicated his findings with his NeuroSensory

Enhancement technology. If he has no control studies, how does he know

which virus he is treating-measels, mumps, rubella or something else?

I saw him at a conference and he had the worst attitude. He basically

told a parent that they did not know their child and he did because " I

am a doctor and I know everything. " I wanted to throw something at

him. He makes parents wait for hours and then he waltzes through the

waiting room carrying his golf clubs.

I have worked in Austin for 7 years with children with ASD, and I

honestly cannot stand this doctor. I have a very strong biological

sciences background, strong research background, years of clinical

experience in medical settings and am clinical assistant qualified. I

have a B.S. in Child Development and Family Relationships from UT at

Austin and a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Special Education also from UT

at Austin. I am also a Board Certified Beavior Analyst.

I would never tell a parent not to try a treatment for their child,

but please do your homework with due diligence.
