Autism Treatment FAQ –
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if this process doesn’t work, or if it
works only partially?
A: Then everything remains the same; or there might be just
a certain percentage of improvement in the symptoms of the
client.
Q: How does the client feel between treatments?
A: It is very individual how the clients feel between
treatments. Some are free of symptoms after the first
treatment; others take longer. Other clients are going
through longer processes, depending on age and general
health condition.
Q: What kind of autism are you able to treat?
A: At the moment we are focusing exclusively on infantile
autism. We don’t yet know if our process will treat
Asperger syndrome or not.
Q: Is a diagnosis of autism required?
A: Yes.
Q: Are you willing to treat people with many different
diagnoses?
A: We will make a decision individually from case to case.
Q: How many treatments are necessary?
A: That depends on the client and the client’s symptoms.
The autism treatment requires a minimum of two sessions,
but many people take three or four sessions. (These times
doesn’t include any follow-up treatments for adjustment
issues.) We typically treat the client in a three day
residential setting.
Q: How long does it take?
A: The first treatment can take up to 3 days. Then an
evaluation is made and, if not all symptoms are eliminated,
there is repetition of the process,.
Q: Is the client going to sit/sleep/be sitting with a
parent or something else?
A: Yes. A parent is greatly preferred.
Q: Do you touch the client?
A: Not always, depending on the client. For some clients a
gentle physical touch might be necessary.
Q: If this process really works, why aren’t you famous?
A: The process is still very new, and not many people know
of these techniques yet.
Q: How old are the persons who have been treated so far?
A: They are between 6 and 15 years old and are now living
normal lives, going to school, having boy/girlfriends, etc.
Q: Have you been only partially successful in treated
people, or even had to give up in helping someone?
A: Because people are very complex, we don’t expect to be
able to help everyone. Currently, most of our clients have
had excellent results, but we haven’t been able to help
everyone fully. However, our goal is to have a process that
works 100% for everyone.
Q: If the agreed upon autism symptoms are only partially
eliminated, what is the fee?
A: There is no charge in this case.
Q: If I have more questions, where can I get an answer?
A: you are welcome to call the clinic near you directly, or
write us via e-mail.
Q: Will follow up treatments be required?
A: It might be necessary, and we recommend it in most
cases. The autism might be gone and yet other problems in
the client that might have been suppressed for a long time
can surface. (Example: fear of being alone, which is
something the therapists we recommend can deal with.) In
addition, the parents may have issues come up around their
child changing. This is not included in the autism process
fee.
Q: What can I expect after the treatment?
A: After a successful treatment, the client will experience
great change as they adapt to a so-called normal way of
living, one that they never have experienced before. Thus,
they will often go through the developmental steps that
they have missed out on due to their autism. As an example
the client might have to learn to crawl/talk, depending on
age and other factors.
Q: If the client has many different diagnoses, will all
other symptoms disappear as well?
A: This process works only for autism and thus it does not
necessarily affect any other symptoms from these other
diagnoses. However, if the other symptoms were a result of
the autism, we would expect them to disappear with time.
Q: Is the effect of the treatment permanent?
A: Our first treatment took place in 1999 and the results
achieved have been stable ever since.
Q: Is medication used in the treatment?
A: No. We use PeakStates therapy techniques developed
specifically for this purpose.
