Autism Spectrum Disorder

At Fairfield Family Health, we provide compassionate, integrative care for children, teens, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our goal is to uncover and address the root causes that influence development, behavior, and overall well-being — helping each individual reach their fullest potential.

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, behavior, and sensory processing. Because ASD exists on a spectrum, every person’s experience is unique. Many individuals also experience related health concerns such as digestive issues, immune dysregulation, allergies, anxiety, or sleep challenges.

Our team looks beyond the diagnosis to explore contributing factors such as nutrition, gut-brain health, inflammation, detoxification, and environmental exposures, providing a whole-person perspective to support optimal functioning and quality of life.

Our Integrative Approach

We combine naturopathic medicine, functional medicine, and conventional care to develop a personalized plan that supports both the body and mind. Our providers have specialized training in Autism Spectrum Disorder and are active members of MedMAPS (Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs), participating in ongoing advanced education focused on biomedical and integrative approaches to ASD.

Comprehensive Support Includes

Nutrition & Lifestyle Support

We create individualized nutrition plans to support brain function, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion and mood. Plans may include gluten-free, casein-free, or low-oxalate dietary approaches, along with sleep and lifestyle strategies that promote calm, structure, and balance.

Nutraceutical & Herbal Medicine

Targeted supplementation and herbal therapies are used to correct nutrient deficiencies, balance the gut microbiome, enhance detoxification, and support cognition and focus. Each plan is customized based on clinical testing and patient response.

Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT), Low Dose Allergen (LDA), & Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI)

These gentle, desensitization-based therapies help modulate immune responses, reduce food and environmental sensitivities, and support immune and neurological balance — especially beneficial for those with multiple sensitivities or immune overactivation.

Medication Support

When appropriate, our medical team provides medication management that complements natural therapies. We work closely with families to ensure that all treatments are coordinated, safe, and effective.

Whole-Person, Family-Centered Care

Our providers are dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and integrative care for individuals on the autism spectrum. Through our multidisciplinary approach, we aim to improve behavior, focus, digestion, sleep, and overall quality of life — empowering both patients and families on their journey toward wellness.
