Holistic Autism Consultation for Children Raleigh, NC & Online
Your child's diagnosis is not a final verdict. It is a starting point — and with the right approach, a remarkable recovery is possible.
At Autism Treatment Center of Raleigh, we offer holistic autism consultation for children that goes far beyond managing behaviors. Led by Dr. Novlet Jarrett Davis, M.D., a board-certified physician who recovered her own son from severe nonverbal autism, our approach identifies and treats the root biological causes driving your child's symptoms.
We serve families in Raleigh, Cary, and across North Carolina, with secure telehealth consultations available for families nationwide.
"Every consultation begins with listening to your child's history, your family's journey, and the story behind the diagnosis."
What Is Holistic Autism Consultation?
Holistic autism consultation is a root-cause, biomedical approach to understanding and treating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Unlike traditional ABA therapy, which focuses primarily on modifying observable behaviors, holistic consultation asks a deeper question: what is happening inside your child's body that is driving these symptoms?
At Autism Treatment Center of Raleigh, we operate at the intersection of internal medicine, functional medicine, and biomedical autism research. We use advanced diagnostic laboratory testing to identify the specific biological imbalances affecting your child, which may include:
-
Toxic heavy metal accumulation (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium)
-
Gut microbiome dysbiosis and intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
-
Mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired cellular energy production
-
Nutrient deficiencies — folate, B12, zinc, magnesium, and more
-
Environmental toxin overload identified through hair analysis
-
Cerebral folate deficiency and impaired methylation pathways
Once these root causes are identified, we create a fully personalized biomedical treatment plan — including targeted supplementation, dietary protocols, detoxification support, and ongoing ATEC score monitoring — to guide your child toward measurable improvement.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every child is biochemically unique, and every treatment plan we develop is built entirely around your child's individual test results and developmental history.
Christopher's Story — From Severe Nonverbal Autism to Neurotypical
"The story behind why Autism Treatment Center of Raleigh exists."
In 2015, our son Christopher was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of two and a half. The diagnosis came with a devastating prognosis: he might never speak, never live independently, and would likely require full-time supportive care for the rest of his life.
As a board-certified physician, I understood the weight of that prognosis — but I refused to accept it as final. I embarked on an intensive educational journey, completing certification courses in the biomedical treatment of autism through MAPS (the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs), the Institute for Functional Medicine, and multiple specialized training programs in pediatric neurodevelopment.
What I discovered changed everything.
I ordered a series of non-traditional diagnostic tests that Christopher's previous doctors had never considered: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis revealed elevated toxic heavy metals in his system. Stool analysis showed significant gut microbiome dysbiosis. Blood and urine testing identified specific nutrient deficiencies and impaired metabolic pathways.
Armed with these findings, I built a targeted, individualized biomedical treatment plan for Christopher. Within weeks, we began to see changes:
-
His hand flapping decreased in frequency and intensity.
-
Stimming behaviors became less constant and less severe.
-
He began to make eye contact — something he had avoided entirely.
-
The uncontrollable meltdowns grew fewer and further apart.
-
He became less reactive to touch and sensory input.
-
He began to recognize and respond to family members with warmth.
The improvements continued to build. Month by month, the child we had been told would never speak began not only to speak, but to thrive.
Today, Christopher is fully neurotypical. He is completely integrated in the mainstream school system, requires no additional academic support, and regularly appears on the Dean's List. He talks constantly — and loudly. He makes friends with ease. He competes in golf tournaments, travels, and lives the full, rich life we were told he would never have.
"We were told our son would never speak and would need lifelong care. He is now on the Dean's List and competes in golf. The biomedical approach changed everything." — Dr. Novlet Jarrett Davis, M.D. Founder.
This is not a rare miracle. It is what becomes possible when we stop managing symptoms and start treating the whole child. Since Christopher's recovery, we have helped many other children achieve significant and measurable improvements — and we have seen multiple children reduce their ATEC scores dramatically, with some reaching full neurotypical functioning.
Every child who walks through our door deserves the same investigation, the same thoroughness, and the same relentless commitment to their recovery that we gave to Christopher.
