Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

DAN advice! Anyone in the Dallas area?

I live in Northeast TX. We have no DAN doctors in this area. But I've decided that I really need help. I research a lot but feel like I could really use the guidance. I would either have to go to Louisiana or Dallas to find the nearest DAN doctor so what I'm wondering is...
How do you choose? Did you just pick a name at random? Is there anyone here that uses a DAN doctor in the Dallas area that can advise me?
Thanks!

Hi, well I don't live in Texas but I do use a DAN doctor for my son. I looked online and just picked someone at random. Luckily she is very helpful and understanding. If you need anything just send me a message on specifics. If I can help I will. Denise

Here are a couple I found. There is a gal in BatonRouge who is highly regarded Stephanie Cave.

Well, now I have appointments with both of those Docs. Just need to decide which one to keep. I never even considered the fact that they wouldn't accept insurance. It makes total sense of course, but I never thought about it. Oh, I wish I wasn't so poor! Haha! Oh well, hopefully I'll make it. We'll see. Thanks for your help.

All you can do is make an appointment. If you aren't happy then you look elsewhere. Asking for recommendations is a good thing. But, what works for me may not work for you.

I am in South Central Texas so I can't help you there.

Ms.Ashley,
Did you find Stephanie Cave in Baton Rouge? I know what you mean about the insurance issue. I can only stretch the budget sooooo far myself. If you are in "D" look us up!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
