Most Autism Treatments Miss the Actual Brain Problem

Vincenzo Fata is Clinical Director at Gray Matters clinic in Connecticut, treating autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, and concussion by measuring actual brain activity before choosing any treatment. His method, Precision Neurobiology™, combines Quantitative EEG, neurofeedback, red light therapy, whole genome sequencing, and targeted nootropics to match treatment to each child's brain rather than a diagnostic label. He explains how excess chloride, glutamate toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and salience network dysregulation each require different interventions, including ALCAR, CoQ10, CDP-Choline, NAC, and sulforaphane, and why scanning the brain before any supplement is critical.
