Of the twelve characteristics or markers of autism, Tressie\u2019s young son had 11 of them. Behavioral therapy is recommended as the treatment of choice for autistic children. But Tressie wanted her son to be able to do more than simply\xa0sit still in school and communicate basic needs (the hoped-for outcome of the therapy). So she researched other options. She found a protocol that has\xa0moved her son from a diagnosis of low-functioning autism to where he is today: he has lost his diagnosis. Tressie is now an advocate of nutrient-dense food and a protocol to treat metal and mercury toxicity.\xa0She is not big on speculating about the causes of autism but she IS big on finding ways to beat the disorder. Tressie has studied\xa0holistic nutrition and environmental health, and is the author of \u201cFight autism and win.\u201d
