>>> THAT
>>> THAT IS FROM THE MOVIE RAINMAN.
RAINMAN.
RAINMAN. APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH.
INTERVENTION SHOULD BEGIN AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER A
DIAGNOSIS.
SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER A DIAGNOSIS.úWHAT DOES THAT LOOK
WHAT CAN CAUSE MORE ALBUMS FOR
THE AUTISTIC BRAIN.
DR. JAY TARNOW IS BACK WITH US.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATLY
AFTER A PARENT IS TOLD WE HAVE
THE DIAGNOSIS YOUR CHILD IS
AUTISTIC.
AUTISTIC.
AUTISTIC. >> AND WE START FORMULATING A
TREATMENT PLAN AND AFTER A VERY
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION HAS TO
START ON LOOKING AT THESE VERY
SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE LET'S
DEVELOP LANGUAGE.
DEVELOP LANGUAGE. THE BIG PROBLEM A LOT OF THESE
CHILDREN AT THE AGE OF TWO
THROUGH FIVE ARE AGGRESSIVE AND
THEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL IN
TERMS OF SOMETIMES THEIR
HYPERACTIVITY AND IMPULSIVITY
SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH OF
THESE FACTORS AND FOCUS A
TREATMENT PLAN ABOUT WHAT WILL
BE HELPFUL.
BE HELPFUL. >> WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS THE
ADHD CHILD.
ADHD CHILD. THAT IS LIKE GOING TO SOMEONE
WHO IS LEARNED IN THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO GET THE RIGHT
DIAGNOSIS.
DIAGNOSIS. WITH MY SON WHO IS ADHD A DAY
CARE WORKER PULLED ME ASIDE AND
SAID HE MIGHT BE AUTISTIC AND
YOU HAVE TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO
IS A PROFESSIONAL IN THE FIELD.
IN STARTING TREATMENT THERE IS
NO SINGLE PLAN FOR EACH CHILD
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH CHILD
INDIVIDUALLY.
INDIVIDUALLY. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL CAME
OUT WITH AN ARTICLE THAT SAYS
THERE COULD BE A FOR THIS.
IS A CURE FOR A MATURATION?
FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE THERE ARE
SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF
AUTISM AND EACH CHILD IS
INDIVIDUAL YOU CAN PUT INTO ONE
BIG CATEGORY AND SAY EVERYONE
DEVELOPS THE SAME WAY.
THE ISSUE ABOUT YOUR, WHAT I
WAS TAUGHT IN MEDICAL SCHOOL
AND WHAT HAS BEEN THE MEDICAL
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHILDREN
DON'T GROW OUT OF IT.
THIS IS A DISEASE FOR A
LIFETIME, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN
WE ARE STARTING TO SEE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW.
ONE IS BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A
BIGGER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT
AUTISM IS AND ONE ASPECT IS
THAT PEOPLE WANT TO GET
SERVICES SO NOW SCHOOLS ARE
PROVIDING SERVICES FOR KIDS
WITH AUTISM AND THAT IS A NEW
THING AND AS A RESULT OF IT
PARENTS WANT THE DIAGNOSIS SO
THEY CAN GET THESE SERVICES.
THE DISABILITY ACT HAS REALLY
BEEN HELPFUL HERE.
WHAT THEY WANT IS, LET'S TREAT
THE SYMPTOMS.
THE SYMPTOMS. LET'S TREAT WHAT HE SAYS.
WHEN YOU START TREATING THE
SYMPTOMS ESPECIALLY THE ISSUE
ABOUT LANGUAGE, SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS A
PROGRESSION OF GETTING HEALTHIER
. THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS IS
THAT WE NOW UNDERSTAND BIOLOGY
OF IT AND WE CAN START LOOKING
FOR THINGS THAT MAY UNDERLIE
THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM
OF AUTISM THAT WE CAN CHANGE.>>
OBVIOUSLY IF YOU COULD HELP
SOMEONE MATURE OUT OF SOMETHING
THAT IS GETTING TO THE ROOT OF
SOMETHING, YOU TALKED ABOUT
UTILIZING MEDICATION.
UTILIZING MEDICATION. A LOT OF PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND
MEDICATIONS.
MEDICATIONS. I CAME IN AND SAID MY CHILD
WILL NOT BE ON MEDICATION AND
IT DEPENDS.
IT DEPENDS. IF SOMEONE NEEDS IT FOR A
LIFETIME THEY NEEDED.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN
GET OFF OF THEY DO AND INDICATE
TAKE CARE OF THOSE THINGS SO
YOU CAN GET TO THE ROOT OF THE
CHILD OR ALL OF THE EFFECTS.
THERE ARE MEDICATIONS THAT CAN
HELP DEAL WITH THOSE SYMPTOMS.
WHEN IT COMES TO MEDICATION
THIS IS LIKE EVERYONE AROUND US
AT THE BEGINNING PRESS RELEASES
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CALLING ME
AND ASKING ME, CBD OIL WHICH WE
KNOW THOSE HAVE BEEN IN THE
NEWS FOR LONG TIME FOR
MEDICINAL PURPOSES.
MEDICINAL PURPOSES. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?
IT IS LIKE A MIRACLE FOR
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING. WHAT IS IT, REALLY?
>> IS ALL CAME FROM CHARLOTTES
WEB.
WEB.
WEB. IN
WEB. IN CHARLOTTES WEB WAS A FORM OF
MARIJUANA THAT WAS THROWN IN
COLORADO THAT WAS HELPING
CHILDREN WHO HAD EPILEPSY AND
THESE ARE CHILDREN WHOSE
EPILEPSY WAS NOT RESPONDING TO
ALL THE OTHER MEDICINES AND
MATTER FACT YOU CAN GET THAT
HERE IN TEXAS ALSO ALLOWS
CHARLOTTES WEB TO BE USED AND
THAT WAS A PORTION OF CBD AND
THAT WHICH IS PART OF THE
MARIJUANA COMPOUND WAS VERY
HELPFUL AND WAS ABLE TO HELP
CONTROL THESE CHILDREN'S
SEIZURES.
SEIZURES.
SEIZURES. I THINK A LOT OF THE RESEARCH,
ESPECIALLY RESEARCH I HAVE DONE
IS THAT WE SEE KIDS THAT HAVE
AUTISM HAVING THESE ABNORMAL
SPIKES IN THEIR BRAIN CAUSING A
LOT OF THE SYMPTOMS LIKE
AGGRESSION AND HYPERACTIVITY
AND IMPULSIVITY AND OBSESSIVE
COMPULSIVE TYPE TRAITS IN THE
THEORY IS THAT IF WE GIVE THEM
CBD OIL THAT THAT WILL HELP
THOSE ABNORMAL ASPECTS IN THE
BRAIN AND ALSO CBD OIL IS VERY
HOPEFUL FOR CALL ME PEOPLE AND
DECREASING ANXIETY.
DECREASING ANXIETY. IT IS VERY HELPFUL.
IT IS GREAT FOR PAIN.
I PUT SOME ON MY SHOULDER WHEN
I HAVE PAIN AND IT IS VERY
HELPFUL.
HELPFUL.
HELPFUL. IN TEXAS YOU CAN USE CBD OIL IT
IS LEGAL EXCEPT IT CANNOT HAVE
ANY THC WHICH IS THE
PSYCHOACTIVE PLEASE.
PSYCHOACTIVE PLEASE. THIS IS THE ISSUE PHARMACIST
TALK ABOUT.
TALK ABOUT. WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT YOUR
PARTY?
PARTY?
PARTY? THE PROBLEM IS THE FDA HAS DONE
RESEARCH AND WHAT THEY FOUND
AND THEY TOOK A HUGE NUMBER OF
PRODUCTS AND THEY FOUND ABOUT
38 TO 30% DID NOT HAVE WHAT IT
SAID IN THE BOTTLE IN THERE
THAT WAS ABOUT 1 TO 10% OF WHAT
THEY SAID WAS REALLY IN THE
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE. >> IT IS NOT REGULATED AND THE
OTHER PIECE IS THAT IT HAD A
LOT OF CONTAMINANTS.
MOST IMPORTANTLY PESTICIDES SO
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING
PESTICIDES.
PESTICIDES. THE OTHER PIECE ABOUT THIS IN
MY VIEW IS THAT KIDS WITH AUTISM
, THEIR PARENTS ARE DESPERATE.
THESE KIDS ARE HAVING A LOT OF
DIFFICULTY.
DIFFICULTY. SPOKE WITH THAT SAID THERE ARE
THINGS THE AUTISTIC BRAIN
SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO.
>> VIDEO GAMES IS INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT THEY GET TO ISOLATE
THEMSELVES THEY DON'T HAVE TO
DEAL WITH PEOPLE AND THEY DO
WITH THE GAME AND THEY LOVE
COMPUTER TYPE GAMES BECAUSE OF
THE CLARITY ABOUT THE MESSAGE.
BUT ALSO CERTAIN DRUGS AND
AUTISTIC BRAIN AND MARIJUANA.
>> THE THING ABOUT THE
MARIJUANA OR THE CBD OIL IS NO
ONE HAS EVER DONE A STUDY OF
CBD OIL LONG-TERM IN CHILDREN
AND I WOULD BE VERY AFRAID AND
I WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR
CHILDREN UNLESS THERE IS MORE
RESEARCH.
RESEARCH.
RESEARCH. >> MORE RESEARCH AND
PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE SO YOU
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IN IT.>>
THERE ARE SOME COMPANIES THAT
ARE MAKING SUITABLE WILL GRADE.
>> DOCTOR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE TODAY
THAT WORKS WITH KIDS WITH
AUTISM IN YOUR OFFICE.
>> CAITLIN DOES THE WORK WITH
CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND HAS
DONE A LOT OF VERY INNOVATIVE
THINGS LIKE NOT USING MEDICINE
AND INSTEAD USING NEURAL
THERAPY.
THERAPY.
THERAPY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
