It seems like the only info or help available is for children. My autistic brother is 26 and fairly high functioning, but had a regression two years ago and has not yet returned to his old self. My parents and I are frustrated and don’t know what to do to help him. He has seen every sort of specialist from mental health to holistic medicine we can think of and we have tried things like chelation, diets, speech therapy, vitamins, psych meds and counseling. Nothing made a difference. It is beginning to feel like there must be some secret island that autistic people are sent to at age 18, because no one seems to have any knowledge about working with autistic people when they become adults.

Dear Adam,
I do not know where you live but here the Scottish Rite group of the Masonic lodge has an absolutely wonderful school that specializes in Autism. You might check your local Masonic Lodge for advice. Good luck Dr. G

<p>For instance- what if the baby is a newborn getting a chiropractic adjustment?
What if the alternative practitioner’s advice conflicts with a conventional doctor? What if parents never take the child to a "real" doctor?On the other side of the coin, what if the "real" doc isn’t helping?
All questions I was thinking to myself today. Interested to hear your thoughts.
I agree with Penn Gillette.
