Autism Knowledge Gateway

Let’s talk about something incredibly important: yeast overgrowth. 🦠   Our kids’ gut health depends on balance. When that balance is disrupted—often by antibiotics or diet—yeast can take over.   Some of the signs can be misleading: ✨ Frequent giggling 😴 Sleep issues 😢 Unexplained crying 🌀 Digestive challenges   Casandra Oldham remembers thinking: my boys just seemed happy—but understanding what was happening internally changed everything. Supporting gut health can have a real impact on behavior and cognition.   👉 The Autism Knowledge Gateway has research to help you better understand and address this.   #BetterKnowledgeBetterTomorrow #AutismCare #AutismSupport #PeerReviewedResearch #BiomedicalInterventions #FunctionalMedicineAndAutism #RecoveringFromAutism #TreatingAutism #MovingUpTheSpectrum #ComorbiditiesAndAutism #HolisticMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #PediatricsAndAutism #AutismAwarness #AutismCommunity #RevolutionizeCare #Autism #ASD #AutismKnowledgeGateway #CommunitySupport #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #InnovationInHealth #FutureOfHealth #TechInHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #StandardizedCare💙🤝✨

From Casandra Oldham’s experience as a mom: If your child is struggling with speech—whether it’s limited words, echolalia, or difficulty forming longer phrases—you’re not alone. 💬 What I’ve learned as a mom is this: communication challenges are often connected to underlying biology. When we started addressing those root issues, we saw real progress. For some kids, targeted treatments, like folinic acid, can help. For others, addressing infections, nutrition, or mitochondrial health can make a difference. For my son, one intervention led to a huge leap in language—something I never expected. ✨ There isn’t just one path. But there are options. 👉 Explore the science behind these approaches on the Autism Knowledge Gateway—and find a doctor willing to dig deeper. 💙   #BetterKnowledgeBetterTomorrow #AutismCare #AutismSupport #PeerReviewedResearch #BiomedicalInterventions #FunctionalMedicineAndAutism #RecoveringFromAutism #TreatingAutism #MovingUpTheSpectrum #ComorbiditiesAndAutism #HolisticMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #PediatricsAndAutism #AutismAwarness #AutismCommunity #RevolutionizeCare #Autism #ASD #AutismKnowledgeGateway #CommunitySupport #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #InnovationInHealth #FutureOfHealth #TechInHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #StandardizedCare💙🤝✨

🤝 Join us as we bring science to the center of autism care: www.autismkg.org/subscribe ❤️ “I was busy loving him up… my husband was the one saying something feels different.” In this heartfelt discussion, Keri Schoenbrun reflects on how she and her husband navigated early differences in their child — and the emotional weight of uncertainty when family members don’t yet see what you see. 💬 #ParentJourney #EmotionalHealth #AutismFamily #BetterKnowledgeBetterTomorrow #AutismCare #AutismSupport #PeerReviewedResearch #BiomedicalInterventions #FunctionalMedicineAndAutism #RecoveringFromAutism #TreatingAutism #MovingUpTheSpectrum #ComorbiditiesAndAutism #HolisticMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #PediatricsAndAutism #AutismAwarness #AutismCommunity #RevolutionizeCare #Autism #ASD #AutismKnowledgeGateway #CommunitySupport #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #InnovationInHealth #FutureOfHealth #TechInHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #StandardizedCare  💕

April is Autism Awareness Month—a time to recognize, celebrate, and support individuals on the autism spectrum and the communities that stand alongside them. At the Autism Knowledge Gateway (AKG), this month reinforces our mission to improve the health and well-being of people with autism through knowledge, connection, and action. Too often, individuals with autism face barriers to accessing high-quality, coordinated healthcare. The AKG works to bridge these gaps by translating research into practical tools, sharing evidence-based resources, and connecting providers, families, and communities with the insights they need to deliver better care. By focusing on what we already know—and making that knowledge more accessible—we can drive meaningful improvements in health outcomes today, not just in the future. This April, we stand with the autism community and reaffirm our commitment to advancing understanding, improving care, and ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to live a healthier, more supported life. #AutismAwarenessMonth #AutismHealth #Neurodiversity #HealthcareAccess #EvidenceBasedCare #AKG

If you believe better healthcare starts with better knowledge, we invite you to learn more and stand with us as we continue building this resource for the entire autism community. Get your tickets today and join us on March 27th at the Tower Club Tysons Corner. https://lnkd.in/eGAV79Ai There are moments when you realize progress is possible — not because everything is solved, but because people are finally working together around what is known. 💙 That’s what the Autism Knowledge Gateway represents. As one of the premier projects of the Thought Leadership & Innovation Foundation, the AKG is focused on strengthening autism care by making peer-reviewed medical research more accessible to families and clinicians alike. 📚🔬 In this video, Bill Oldham reflects on how far we’ve come — and why expanding access to credible medical knowledge is essential for improving the lives of autistic individuals. As a parent, Bill understands how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you’re searching for answers. The AKG was built to close that knowledge gap — to ensure that research doesn’t stay buried in journals, but instead reaches the exam room, the home and the people who need it most. 🤝   #BetterKnowledgeBetterTomorrow #AutismCare #AutismSupport #PeerReviewedResearch #BiomedicalInterventions #FunctionalMedicineAndAutism #RecoveringFromAutism #TreatingAutism #MovingUpTheSpectrum #ComorbiditiesAndAutism #HolisticMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #PediatricsAndAutism #AutismAwarness #AutismCommunity #RevolutionizeCare #Autism #ASD #AutismKnowledgeGateway #CommunitySupport #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #InnovationInHealth #FutureOfHealth #TechInHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #StandardizedCare💙🤝✨
