Unique Autism Experiments
Offer Parents Hope
By Rachel Evans
Every year, the number of autism sufferers rises around the globe,
and as a reaction to this growth, the medical industry and the alternative medicine
industry have both reacted by taking on this mental disorder through an array of
different forms of autism experiments.
These tests come in many different forms, but all have the same ultimate goal: allowing
autism sufferers to live happy lives and function at their fullest.
Autism experiments
currently under way include carnosine supplements, light and sound, music, and diet.
These tests are being performed on children and adults alike.
Carnosine is a protein
that is now receiving attention from researchers interested in studying autism. Dr.
Chez of Chicago is using the synthetic form of carnosine, called L-

DAVID – the digital audio visual integration device
– is a machine used by Mind Alive in order to send sound pulses and flashing lights
to participants in their autism experiments, to produce different results. The thought
is that by stimulating the visual and auditory receptors, parts of the brain will
also be stimulated in a controlled way.
To different degrees, participants have experienced
a reduction in their autism symptoms through desensitization to different auditory
and visual problems that are common to the disorder. They include decreasing hypersensitivity
to sound and touch, better eye contact, improved social skills, less aggressive behaviors,
and a wider overall appreciation of food.

Taking those autism research a step further is the Music Therapy Department of the
ASU School of Music. These tests involve investigations into the way that different
sounds and forms of music impact autism sufferers and how they may be used to encourage
desirable behaviors and functions. This program uses these different sounds very
carefully for specific circumstances with the hopes of particular results.
Different
music types are applied, as well as more basic noises such as clapping hands or the
ringing of a bell. In the case of the more simplistic noises, the result is usually
the ability for the autism sufferer to regain focus after concentration has been
lost. Other favorable results include better communication, a higher level of overall
function, and better interactions with others.
When it comes to experiments that
deal with diet, one of the most prominent includes the gluten-
Parents, doctors, and sufferers alike have witnessed improvements
of varying degrees including better communication. Digestion appears to be easier
and more effective on this diet as well, as the number of cases of diarrhea and loose
stools are decreased. Increased eye contact, better focus and overall disposition
have also been reported alongside reductions in tantrums, self-
