In this comprehensive deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel explores groundbreaking research on decreased synaptic density in autism and reveals why the answers to autism don't lie in the brain alone. Drawing from a Princeton/Harvard study using PET scans, Dr. Ebel explains how autism actually begins in the body's neuromotor system and manifests in the brain. He breaks down complex neurological concepts into understandable terms, explaining the three-step nervous system process (input, integration, output) and introducing critical terms like subluxation, dyskinesia, and dysafferentation.

This episode challenges the traditional medical approach to autism and presents a revolutionary understanding of how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can stimulate neuroplasticity and build the missing synaptic bridges in autistic brains. Dr. Ebel emphasizes that proprioceptive input from movement and spinal adjustments is more foundational to brain function than gut health or supplements, offering hope for families seeking root-cause healing.
