Eileen C. Comia, M.D.
Medical Director
A 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
Defeat Autism Now! movement, an organization
of physicians and scientists searching for causes
and treatment modalities for autism.
Dr. Comia received 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 understands the frustration
and desperation in rearing a child afflicted with this disorder. Thus,
Dr. Comia established Avon Therapeutic Center with the goal of not
necessarily finding a cure for autism but treating the underlying functional
and biochemical abnormalities found commonly in children within 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.
