GI symptoms are often overlooked in Autism Spectrum Disorder patients. Autism Research Institute's Director Dr. Stephen Edelson commented, "This is truly a human rights issue; every child deserves proper medical attention--whether or not they have autism. This published report brings much-needed focus to gastrointestinal problems that are commonly associated with the autism spectrum.
