AnnouncementsASBC Lecture Series and Support Group MeetingsJune 14, 2008 - Please meet us at the practice of Pao-Chin Huang, an acupuncturist at the Ruseto Center at 2900 Valmont Road, Suite E-1, Boulder, CO 80301 on June 14th from 10:00 AM till noon. This will be a chance for us to tour his practice and also learn about what he does to specifically treat Autism. One member of our community has seen success with his son on the spectrum as a result of visits to Pao. The son of our community member had exhibited strong food-related allergy symptoms, and the family noticed that these strong symptoms disappeared after two office visits with Pao. Another family with a child on the spectrum saw immediate improvements with toilet training, and their son was able to ride a bike soon after he started to see Pao. Space for this support meeting will be limited. If we receive a large positive RSVP response we may be able to break into two sessions, but planning will be necessary for this. Therefore, we are requesting firm RSVPs by no later than June 4, 2008. Please send all RSVPs via email to asbcmeeting@gmail.com and include the number of attendees.
