Children struggle when their immune systems stay switched “on,” and today’s guest explains exactly why this happens — and what hidden triggers keep kids stuck.

Welcome to Episode 289 of Autism Parenting Secrets.
In this conversation, Len sits down with Dr. Anju Usman Singh, Medical Director of True Health Medical Center and a leading faculty member of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS).
Dr. Singh shares why autism, ADHD, and related challenges are best understood as neuroimmune inflammatory conditions — and how toxins, allergens, and persistent infections keep the immune system stuck in overdrive.

This episode brings clarity to how environmental toxins drive inflammation, how inflammation creates neurological “excitation,” and why addressing toxic load is often the missing step that unlocks progress.
