What No One Tells You About Autism and the Nervous System | EP. 53

If your child has autism and you've been treating constipation, sensory meltdowns, and aggression as separate problems, this episode is going to change how you see all of it. Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena break down why these symptoms share one root cause and why addressing the nervous system first is what actually moves the needle. In this episode they cover: * Why constipation in children with autism is a nervous system issue, not a dietary one * How a dysregulated nervous system drives sensory overwhelm, aggression, and sleep struggles * Why functional medicine approaches often plateau, and what to do instead * What nervous system-focused chiropractic actually looks like for a child with ASD * The difference between managing symptoms and restoring the foundation those symptoms are built on * What parents can realistically expect to see change, and in what order If you've tried everything and still feel like you're stuck in survival mode alongside your child, this one's for you.
