Beth Lambert, founder of Documenting Hope, was cited in Joel Warsh MD’s article entitled “Autism Rates Surge: Beyond Genetics and Diagnosis” in The Epoch Times on June 4, 2024. In the article, Dr. Warsh wondered why the medical community isn’t questioning the significant increase in autism rates. In addition, he noted that when parents make diet and lifestyle changes for their children with autism, the children often experience dramatic changes and sometimes lose their diagnosis. At this point, he quoted Beth Lambert:
Beth Lambert, director of Documenting Hope, shared insights from her extensive experience. “For fifteen years, we have been documenting cases of children who have completely lost their autism diagnoses. While certain genetics might make these children more vulnerable to developing autism, it is the diet, lifestyle, and therapeutic choices made by these families that help them overcome these genetic vulnerabilities and lose the symptoms that we call autism.”
Despite these remarkable outcomes, the concept of reversing autism is seldom discussed. The prevailing discourse primarily frames autism as a neurological spectrum condition that is not to be cured. Ms. Lambert points out, “Cases of full autism reversal have been documented in the medical literature, but this phenomenon has not yet made its way into most medical practices.
