Arthur Krigsman was born in the United States. He pursued his undergraduate studies in biology before attending medical school. He completed his medical degree at a prestigious institution, followed by a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology.
Career[edit | edit source]
Krigsman began his career as a pediatric gastroenterologist, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in children. He became particularly interested in the gastrointestinal symptoms often reported by parents of children with autism.
Research on Autism and Gastrointestinal Disorders[edit | edit source]
Krigsman is best known for his research into the potential link between autism and gastrointestinal disorders. He has published several studies suggesting that a subset of children with autism may suffer from inflammatory bowel disease-like conditions. His work has sparked significant debate, as it challenges the traditional view that autism is solely a neurological disorder.
Controversy[edit | edit source]
Krigsman's research has been controversial, particularly his association with Andrew Wakefield, a former physician whose study linking the MMR vaccine to autism was discredited. Critics argue that Krigsman's work lacks rigorous scientific evidence and that his findings have not been widely replicated. Supporters, however, claim that his research has brought attention to the gastrointestinal issues faced by many children with autism.

Krigsman has authored numerous articles in medical journals and has presented his findings at various conferences. His work continues to be a topic of discussion and debate in the fields of gastroenterology and autism research.
