A time-bounded, root-cause workup for your child, with honest expectations. Autism Support Program in McKinney

A physician-directed, 90-day program that looks for modifiable biological stressors and builds a plan to reduce them.

The autism support program is a 90-day plan for children and adolescents, designed and overseen by Dr. Castel Santana, for families who want a clear way to look for biological stressors and a team that’s honest about what it can and can’t do.

The question it asks

Autism is diagnosed by behavior and development, and this program doesn’t change that. Research points to a subset of children where methylation, toxin load, gut and immune activation interact. The program looks for those patterns in order: map first, then nourish and lower the load.

How the 90 days work

Map. A cheek-swab genetic panel shows how this child’s body handles key nutrients, so the right forms and pacing can be chosen. Some children become overstimulated on aggressive methylation support, so pacing matters.

Measure. One urine collection checks heavy metals, mold toxins and environmental chemicals, so the family can remove sources first. Aggressive chelation is not part of this program.

Nourish. Coaching through a clean, organic, low-carbohydrate eating plan for the 90 days, with monitoring of growth and hydration.

Plan. Around week four, Dr. Cas turns both reports into a written plan. Visits continue, and a day-90 review decides what’s next.

Hyperbaric oxygen, PEMF and EEG-guided neuromodulation are not part of the core program. If a family chooses them, they’re arranged separately and discussed honestly, including the limits of the evidence.

Questions

Is this a cure for autism?

No. It doesn't replace an autism diagnosis or the therapies that support it. It asks which modifiable stressors, like methylation bottlenecks, toxin load or dietary inflammation, might be adding to symptoms like poor sleep, GI trouble or irritability in this child.

Who is the program for?

Children and adolescents with a confirmed or strongly suspected diagnosis whose families want a time-bounded workup instead of an open-ended supplement list.

How is progress measured?

With a short, family-chosen scorecard, such as sleep, stool pattern, irritability, shared attention and energy.

What does the program cost?

Program details and investment are reviewed at the consult, before anyone enrolls.

Important: This program is not an FDA-approved treatment or cure for autism. It does not replace behavioral, speech, occupational or educational therapies, seizure management or psychiatric care, and it does not promise a change in core diagnostic features. Families remain under the care of their pediatrician and, when applicable, neurologist. Response is individual.
