Autism spectrum disorder
Dr Gulliver's focus is on helping children effected by ASD reach their potential by correcting biochemical issues as evidenced by the latest biomedical research. These well documented abnormalities range from deficiencies in glutathione or methylators to improving mitochondrial dysfunction. Dr. Gulliver can treat both core symptoms (language, social cognition/interaction, stereotypical/repetitive behaviour etc) along with peripheral and co-morbid conditions (anxiety, OCD, sensory overload etc).
Language
Socialization
Stereotypical/repetitive behaviours
Generally therapies aimed at the core symptoms have broad effects, improving things such as sleep, food selection (increase) etc however, these peripheral symptoms may require their own attention and treatment.
Dr Gulliver is fully committed to making a positive impact in the lives of children and families. Striving for integration amongst physicians and a team based approach is also a core principle of his practice.
