Outisme se wortels blyk om in 'n baie vroeë breinontwikkeling te wees en word deur die professionele mediese wêreld as geestesgesondheid geklasifiseer. Maar ek en verskeie ander groot rolspelers in die wêreld van outisme, is van mening dat dit eintlik 'n probleem met die ingewande is wat breinfunksie beïnvloed. Ons glo dat voedsel, lug en ander besoedeling 'n belangrike snellers vir outisme is. Niemand word met outisme gebore nie, net soos wat niemand met kanker gebore word nie!
Autism appears to have its roots in very early brain development and the professional medical world classified autism as mental health. However, I and several other major role players in the world of autism, is of the opinion that it is actually a problem with the intestines that affects brain function.
