Each month throughout the year, I flag research that pertains to my understanding and how I practice the complicated world of childhood developmental medicine.

The New York Times recently published their version of “How to Choose the Right Pediatrician“. That was great advice for the last century. Web-savvy parents being more knowledgable than co-authors Prof. Chang and Dr. Wilkerson gave due credit, my estimation of what families need to consider may ...

What is the best way for medical experts to get ahead of this modern pandemic? This very website, TheAutismDoctor.com, has provided my most fruitful research since opening The Child Development Center of America over a decade ago.

While I continue working on the new website, here is the 2018 year-end review of significant ASD literature:

As the number of children who demonstrate developmental delays continues to increase, scientific knowledge remains sorely lacking. These are my top picks for this year’s most useful human research and events that address our understanding about the cause(s) and treatment(s) of these conditions.

Our 10th Anniversary today! Thanks to Karen and her amazing work, the staff (Ashly, Leilani, Lisa, Isabella, Julian, Dan), and all of our wonderful parents who have trusted us with your valuable and challenging children.

Six years ago, I dedicated this post to all of the incredible Mothers who deal with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the associated symptoms, every day. Thousands of patients later, my feelings are even more heartfelt. You are not alone.

This story is a total rip-off. The New York Times recently featured a worthwhile piece entitled, A Doctor’s Guide to a Good Appointment. In that vein, I couldn’t help but add my two cents worth of advice about how to make the best of a family’s first visit to a developmental specialist.

Think about what is was like for ‘pioneer’ doctors at the beginning of the last century. I am certain that they were derided by the medical establishment, whose beliefs included ‘bleeding’ or electroshock therapy as treatment for every enigmatic condition. Hand washing, vaccinations and anti...

As always, I am PRO-vaccination, based on sensible, evidence-based research, HOWEVER
Written by 2 economics professors, and ignoring the facts that the 'carriers' in this outbreak were workers who had outgrown their immunity: This is a role model in state-based coercion

Changing minds on vaccination is very difficult, but it isn’t so important when a law can change behavior.
