Autism largely manifests as incomprehensible social and behavioral responses, including the inability to listen, learn, respond, or bond.

In autistic children, additional social and behavioral abnormalities may manifest, such as head banging, finger flapping and aggressive behavior. While certain abnormalities may appear in one child, the same abnormalities may or may not be present in another. Focusing on this complex and diverse range of manifestations, researchers have been baffled by autism for decades, concluding that autism is an individual brain disorder of unknown origin and without cure.

However, in studying autistic populations to determine the range of manifestations, one biological commonality appeared: Every case of autism included digestive dysfunction.

Whether described in publications or interviews with parents, every case of autism included digestive dysfunction.

Investigating a relationship between autism, digestive dysfunction, and brain-related social and behavioral manifestations, Comprehensive Organic Intervention was born.
