The goal of Thoughtful House is to utilize the findings of past and current research and combine the talents of leading clinicians, researchers, and educators working with autism and related disorders in one dedicated facility.

Thoughtful House is a data-driven, results-focused environment for generating best practice educational models and setting new standards of medical care for children affected by childhood developmental disorders.

Ultimately, scientific research will yield the answers as to why so many children are becoming ill. We urgently need your help now in order to ensure that every child has the same chance of recovery.

About the Photos:
Faith was born completely normal but at nineteen months she began to regress. By two years two months she spent most of her time lying around, refusing to engage in any productive activity. There was no eye contact, she stopped walking, talking, playing and smiling. She displayed an extreme aversion to touch or movement. Her stools were liquid and she would only eat bagels, milk, Goldfish crackers and cheese. She would take up odd positions to put pressure on her stomach.

At four and a half years old, thanks to medical treatment Faith attends typical pre-school. She speaks in full sentences, interacts fully with her siblings, shows imaginative play and is well on her way to complete recovery.
