Eileen C. Comia, M.D.
Medical Director
A DAN! (Defeat Autism Now) Practitioner and a
board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, Dr.
Eileen Comia is a strong advocate of biomedical
interventions in the treatment of autism and
autism-related disorders. She obtained her
training from Dr. Sidney Baker, co-founder of the
DAN! movement, an organization of physicians
and scientists searching for causes and treat-
ment modalities for autism.
Dr. Comia obtained her Medical Degree from the University of the East
Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, Philippines. She did her
postgraduate residency training in Internal Medicine at Overlook Hospital,
a major affiliate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
She went into private practice for seven years before pursuing the "fight
against autism".
Being the parent of an autistic child, Dr. Comia felt the frustration and
desperation that comes with rearing a child afflicted with this disorder.
Thus, she established the Avon Therapeutic Center for Children, LLC
with the goal of not necessarily finding a cure for autism but treating the
underlying functional and biochemical abnormalities found commonly in
children with the autism spectrum.
Dr. Comia is affiliated with the Connecticut State Medical Society, American
Medical Association, and the American College of Physicians. She is a
frequent presenter at state conferences, and for local chapters and
parent support groups in the field of autism. The biomedical interventions
she employs in the treatment of autism aid in enhancing behavioral and
adjunctive therapy.
