In this eye-opening episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards welcomes back visionary developmental optometrist Dr. Steve Ingersoll for a profound discussion on the neurological roots of autism and other neurodevelopmental delays. With autism rates rising dramatically, Dr. Ingersoll dives into the often-overlooked connection between early visual development, toxic exposures, and regressive autism.

Learn how compromised visual reflexes, binocular misalignment, and central vision neglect can contribute to the retreat from language in young children—and how timely interventions like a simple eye patch can help reverse or even prevent this cascade. Dr. Steve also explains the powerful role of internal imagery in learning, thinking, and language development, challenging the conventional, language-first model of education.
