Special Diets and Autism…It’s Where You Start
You know the old saying "you are what you eat"? It's true and science backs that up. Did you know that simply eating an apple can cause some children with autism extreme discomfort resulting in erratic behavior, stimming, and sleeplessness?
All the autism therapies in the world won't work optimally as long as the molecular composition of your child's diet is causing them to be in agony and manifesting itself in autistic symptoms. The first step to healing your loved one is giving them the right food for them.
Autism, the Gut,
and the Brain
Once diet has been optimized, overall gut health is next on the list. Did you know there are trillions of bacteria in your gut? Imbalances in the gut have been directly linked to numerous diseases, including autism.
How can the brain function if the gut can't? I can help you understand which bacteria are good and which are bad. In everyday English. Don't just swallow a probiotic and hope that it does something.
Relentless Motivation to Keep Going
You and I both know this is a long journey. There will be moments of pure joy and also setbacks. But you are your child's relentless advocate. I can help you find that relentless motivation you need to master your own mind and get things done.
You're going to have to influence many people to get them to understand your specific situation. All of this while being loving and tender to the person with autism in your life. Can it be done? It must be done. Rethink the impossible!
