Dr. Kendall Stewart and Recent Presentation

[MomWithOCDSon]

A recent "PANDAS" lead from my Google Alerts led me to the below link. Wondering if Dr. Stewart was one of those who made presentations at the recent conference in Texas, and if so and someone hear heard him speak, can you elaborate on the below excerpt? I'm really interested in this, and it's the first time I've heard of a link specifically between strep antibodies and dopamine. The following quote can be found about 2/3's of the way down the page.

 

"I recently went to a neuro-immmune symposium where Dr. Kendal Stewart, MD spoke. He said that everything that he has learned, he has learned from treating children who have an autism diagnosis. On his handouts, he wrote that Anti-DNase B "blocks" dopamine receptors or just blocks dopamine. He said that dopamine is needed for sensory integration. I think that it is important to mention this in regards to this article and PANDAS."
