NNY Autism Center

Welcome

The NNY Autism Center, located in Northern New York at
103 South Main Street, Black River, New York 13612, was formed by a group of dedicated, determined parents, grandparents, caregivers and professionals working together to bring this bio-medical approach for Autism and related immune mediated disorders to the children of Northern New York and surrounding areas.

Our Mission Statement

We strive to work toward finding solutions and improving public awareness to Neuro Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (NIDS) related diseases, both neuro-immune and auto-immune, through research, education and legislation. 

What Is The Bio-Medical Approach?

ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) as well as links to other immune diseases.  
The premise of the treatment is that the body reduces blood flow to specific areas of the brain (temporal lobes) when the immune system is not functioning normally.  The impaired blood flow decreases neurological and developmental functions resulting in any combination is a medical treatment approach for individuals who have NIDS(Neuro Immune Dysfunction Syndromes) that results in symptoms commonly associated with ASD of symptoms commonly observed in Autism, particularly in young children such as:     
  • loss of social skills
  • decrease in auditory processing
  • decrease or loss of language
  • repetitive behaviors
  • loss of eye contact
  • headaches
  • lack of focus
  • inability to concentrate
  • obsessive compulsive disorders
  • "low grade" fevers
  • recurrent ear infections
  • abnormalities in fine and gross motor
  • inappropriate behaviors
  • food and chemical sensitivities
  • chronic congestion
  • multiple rashes
  • bowel disturbances
  • preference for routine
  • pronoun reversal
  • arm flapping
The medical approach consists of diet, pharmaceutical and rehabilitation therapies.  The choice of medications varies from patient to patient and is based upon history, physical, and analysis of medical tests. Therapy can last from one to four years, although some patients may require maintenance therapy.
