In Optism's latest YouTube episode, Dr. Tim Trodd, chairman of OT&P Healthcare in Hong Kong, shares over 30 years of experience supporting more than 2,000 children with autism across Asia. He explains how functional medicine, a holistic approach to health, complements behavioral therapies like ABA to improve the wellbeing of individuals on the spectrum.
Dr. Trodd uses a powerful analogy, describing functional medicine as addressing the body’s ‘hardware,’ while behavioral therapy focuses on the ‘software.’ Together, these integrated solutions provide optimal outcomes for autism care. Parents and families in Hong Kong and Asia will find valuable insights in this episode, which redefines autism support through modern, evidence-based approaches.
