What are common signs of Awakening in kids with Autism?

Within the first few weeks of starting, many children may demonstrate much greater eye contact, increased connectedness with family, and an increased sense of awareness of their environment. This is because the sedating effects of propionic acid have been reduced or eliminated due to a rebalancing of the intestinal bacteria. See Chapter Sixteen of our updated book for a more in-depth explanation of bacterial overgrowth and propionic acid. Eliminating the sedative effect will also give a child’s parent a sense of potentially how neurologically imbalanced their child actually is. Some behaviors may seem worse because the propionic acid was suppressing their ability to act out these behaviors as a drug might. Such behaviors might be stimming, anxiety, aggression, hyperactivity, or sleeplessness. Parents are now seeing their child for the first time without the child being sedated.
