Phillip C. DeMio, M.D.
In this session, Dr. Phillip Demio, biomedical physician and US Autism Advisory Board Member shares his wealth of expertise on the topic of the relationship between autism and a number of physical and psychiatric medical conditions. In a discussion that covers gastro-intestinal function, diabetes, seizures, autoimmune disorders, and susceptibility to a host of opportunistic infections and diseases, Dr. DeMio draws useful connections between several medical conditions and "autistic functioning." He then provides recommendations for individuals who either don't feel well physically or find themselves unable to function as well as they would like to due to medical or psychiatric symptoms.
Intense discussion has continued over generations as to whether Autism is a purely psychiatric disorder vs. whether it has a nonpsychiatric medical basis. In “Comorbidities in Autism”, Dr. DeMio discusses evidence on both sides of the argument in order to offer participants information on this ongoing subject.
In a session featuring the founder of the US Autism Association, along with the primary conference moderator and other key speakers of the US Autism Association, this panel will share the wisdom that comes only from raising a child on the autism spectrum into adulthood.
