I’ve been saying the same things about autism forever and ever, so I thought I’d focus on something different. This month I’ll be sharing the voices of nonverbal individuals who use S2C to communicate. I hope you’ll listen because everyone deserves a voice!
As another April Autism Awareness comes to an end, I just want to remind everyone to hang in there. Starting out in the autism world is a deep dive with a lot of information to take in. If you are new to this, try not to get overwhelmed. And when it feels like nobody “gets it,” find your people.
Energy healing works by addressing energy blocks to optimize energy flow and allow the body to naturally heal itself. Individuals with autism often not only respond well to energy healing, but it can also help other treatments and therapies work more effectively.
Those with Auditory Processing Disorder having difficulty perceiving sounds and frequencies. Sound therapy can people with autism process and interpret auditory input, which can improve speech, motor planning, and more.

We are constantly detoxing. When detoxification pathways become overwhelmed, sickness occurs. Our kids with autism sometimes require a little more help in getting those detox pathways open. Here are some detox for autism ideas.
Parents consistently report implementing dietary changes, most commonly eliminating gluten and casein, to be one of their most effective autism interventions. Dietary changes are safe and relatively inexpensive, so that deserves a fair shot if it’s something you haven’t tried.
What used to be called Autism Awareness Month has officially been changed to Autism Acceptance Month. But more than blue lights, awareness, and acceptance, individuals with autism need ACTION. And they need it yesterday. And I’ll continue to say it until I’m blue in the face.
I want to strengthen my relationship with God. I believe that there is MORE, beyond what this body experiences and what this life contains. So, whoever and whatever God is, I want to experience a deeper relationship with Him.
There are so many benefits to meditation. What’s the best way to free your mind and harness the benefits of meditation? Especially if you suck at it like me? Here are my “Meditation for Dummies” ideas.
Tonight is the end of daylight savings time and we “fall back” an hour. While that extra hour of sleep is nice, daylight savings time is basically an experiment on us that we didn’t consent to that is detrimental to health and to the brain. So what can we do to ease the adjustment to the end of daylight savings?
Today is World Autism Day. But to me if feels more like Groundhog Day. And honestly, seeing all the autism posts on social media hurts my heart. With everything going on in the world, sometimes it doesn’t feel like our kids matter.
My second goal of my “22 Goals for 2022” is to stay hydrated. I’m pretty sure I’m one of those people who is chronically dehydrated. It should be pretty easy to fix – just “drink more water” right? But for me it’s not that simple. I don’t love plain water. Here are some other ways to hydrate happy!
I will be making 22 resolutions for 2022! For me, it always starts with gratitude. This is an easy and really effective way to change your perspective and start seeing the good in the world and in our lives. There is plenty of good AND bad in the world. You will start to feel that you life is full of whichever one YOU choose to focus on.
My autism journey has changed the way I live and care for my family. I am passionate about nontoxic products, natural remedies, grain-free nutrition, essential oils, and healing the symptoms known as autism. This is a space for anyone aspiring toward cleaner, healthier living.
