Autism Parenting Secrets

Welcome to Episode 301 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

In this episode, we're diving into something that gives parents more control, more confidence and more capability to actually help their child.

Today, I'm joined by Dr Michelle Perro, a seasoned clinician with over 45 years of experience in pediatrics and integrative medicine, and she's been on the show before, but she's been on the front line seeing what's reacting with our kids, and more importantly, what actually helps them to heal and to thrive.

And she's also the author of a powerful new book that was just released, Making Our Children Well, which is all about giving parents a practical roadmap to take back control of their child's health.

And one of the key tools we're going to focus on today is homeopathy. 

What is it? 

Why is it often very well misunderstood, and how parents can actually use it at home in a safe and effective way.

The secret this week is…

Leah Wilson is an attorney, a mother, a foster parent, and the co-founder of Stand for Health Freedom.

She has been on the front lines advocating for informed consent, parental rights, and health freedom, and she has lived this work personally through her own family and foster care experience.

Leah is the co-author of Reclaim Vitality, a book that challenges the idea that health is something to manage or outsource. 

Instead, it invites parents to step off the conventional path and reclaim the body’s God-given ability to heal. 

Her work does not simply critique the system. 

It asks a deeper question: who does a parent need to become in order to lead their family well in a world that profits from confusion, fear, and dependence?

Leah Wilson is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Stand for Health Freedom. An attorney with a background in complex litigation and advocacy, Leah has spent more than a decade working on child welfare and parental rights issues.

Her work was shaped by firsthand experience in the foster care system, where she witnessed the widespread use of psychiatric medications as behavior management and the enforcement of one-size-fits-all medical mandates. These experiences led her to expand her advocacy beyond foster care and launch Stand for Health Freedom in 2019 to protect informed consent and parental rights nationwide.

Leah is also an educator and sought-after speaker on holistic health, religious liberty, and family sovereignty, and is the co-author of Reclaim Vitality.
