In the 1950s 1 in 25,000 children were diagnosed with Autism. 

in 1975 1 in 15,000; in 2000 1 in 2500; in 2012, 1 in 33 children between 5 and 9 were diagnosed in Australia (ABS figures)

Based on trends since 1980, it is estimated that by 2020, this figure will reach 1 in 20 and unless prevented, will reach 1 in 5 by 2030. The incidence of ADHD has already reached 1 in 10 and still rising.

In 2013 the World Health Organisation declared AUTISM their top health priority 

With each affected child, parents, siblings and close family will also be adversely affected; so profoundly and in ways that only those who live through it can understand.

The Foundation’s objectives:

• The foundation was formed by a group of health professionals and scientists dedicated to finding the root causes of Autism, and the best prevention and treatment options. We aim to:
• Conduct research to determine the most cost effective treatment combinations. 
• Conduct research on the impact of Environmental toxins, Dietary and Nutritional factors. 
• Promote effective treatment options for Autism, ADHD and other childhood disorders.
• Provide advocacy, to change government policy and improve funding for treatment and research.
• Build a world class treatment and research center for Autism and ADHD.
• Provide affordable or pro-bono treatment for those in need of services for Autism or ADHD
  

We need funds to carry out research the Government is not doing. Please make a contribution
