Preliminary Survey On Enzyme Usage For Treatment Of Children With Autism

Preliminary Survey On Enzyme Usage For Treatment Of Children With Autism

The usage of enzymes for the treatment of symptoms related to autism has been of growing interests to the autism community, especially over the last two years. The following simple survey questionaire has been proposed as a means of collecting preliminary information on the anecdotal observations from families who have been using these enzymes. What products are people using? How effective do they appear to be? Are there emerging patterns of problems releated to enzyme usage we might be able to spot? To facilitate the collection of information, the survey is simple and short. Because it is important to validate the indentity of respondents, the researchers, Enzymnastic Research Services, require First and Last names and phone numbers. All collected information will be held in strict confidence. The results will be published in the Schafer Autism Report.
