Hello mums

Any one of you has done Oxygen therapy to help het autistic child?

I heard that charities like BIRD and Hope help with the cost...

Please share your experience

Hi,

Just seen your post and thought I’d better reply because I know a lot of research has been done now into the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for children with autism. It does not have any benefit and carries a great deal of risk. It can be very harmful to children’s health.

This website shows you lots interventions/ treatment for children with autism and whether research supports their use. The people who run the website are independent and so not paid to support any particular treatment. I’d take a look at it to see what else might help: www.researchautism.net/autism-interventions/our-evaluations-interventions

Hope that is helpful!
