Mac kicks off our In Their Own Words series, sharing the voices of those who communicate using S2C, with a powerful message: Autism is not what you think it is. He shares how S2C has unlocked his potential, allowing him to share his gifts. He finally feels like what he has to say matters, and he shares it here.
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.
Chiropractic care has many cognitive, emotional, and sensory-motor benefits. Many parents have reported dramatic improvements in development, social skills, digestion, sleep, and behavior in their children.
Homeopathy is safe, gentle, and effective. Classical homeopathy can be a great way to safely and effectively treat autism.
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.
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.
