Naturally Recovering Autism with Karen Thomas

Autism is changing — not because autistic people are changing, but because our understanding of autism is finally catching up to the lived reality of millions of individuals and families.

For decades, autism was described in narrow, stereotypical terms: one “type,” one path, one set of behaviors. The diagnosis was something handed to people, not something that reflected the full complexity of who they were.

But today, the conversation is shifting.

New research, broader cultural understanding, and the voices of autistic individuals themselves are ushering in a more accurate, more compassionate, and more inclusive view.

We’re entering a new era — one where diagnosis, diversity, and identity work together to give us a deeper picture of what autism really means.

Diagnosis: From Narrow Labels to Nuanced Understanding

Historically, autism diagnosis was based on a narrow checklist of observable behaviors. These frameworks unintentionally left out large groups of people, especially:...

How Understanding Autism Biology Can Help Children Thrive
Autism Is Not One Thing: Why So Many Children Struggle — And Why It’s Not “Just Autism”

For decades, autism has been treated as a one-size-fits-all label. But parents everywhere are starting to notice something that traditional models have missed:

Not every autistic child struggles for the same reasons — and many challenges aren’t “autism,” they’re biology.

New research confirms this intuitive truth. Scientists are now identifying multiple autism subtypes, shaped by different biological pathways such as immune function, gut health, metabolism, detoxification, and sensory processing.

This shift marks a turning point away from the idea that autism equals a fixed set of symptoms — and toward understanding each child’s unique neurological and biological profile.

And that’s exactly where powerful breakthroughs happen.

Autism vs. the Challenges That Come With It
Let’s be clear from the start:

Autism itself is not a disease. Autism is a different neurotype — a unique way of communicating, processing the world, and experiencing life.
But the challenges many autistic individuals face are not personality traits.

They’re not “who the child is.”

They are biological stressors layered on top of their neurodivergence — stressors that can be reduced, supported, and improved.

These may include:

chronic inflammation

gut dysbiosis

nutrient depletion

impaired detox pathways

mitochondrial or energy-production issues

hormonal imbalance

persistent immune activation

environmental toxins

food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, oxalates, salicylates, phenols, histamines)...

Far-infrared has been used for centuries as a natural, safe method to assist health in multiple ways. Additional methods to assist detoxification are extremely important, especially for children with autism. Far infrared saunas are an excellent resource for this.

Please watch this interview with expert Phil Wilson, to discover the many stress-relieving, and additional health benefits of far-infrared heat, including in-home, portable saunas.

See studies and testimonials below.

A few of the many Studies associated with the benefits and safety of far-infrared:
Sauna as a valuable clinical tool for cardiovascular, autoimmune, toxicant- induced and other chronic health problems.

Far infrared radiation (FIR): its biological effects and medical applications.

Effects of far infrared accupoint stimulation on autonomic activity and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. (This study also shows the reduction of stress and fatigue on the autonomic nervous system.)

Below are some video testimonies (Almost all Doctors)  that you might find helpful in recognizing that the Relax Sauna is Unique in its effectiveness because of it being able to generate 95-99% pure far infrared energy, unheard of in the infrared sauna industry. These are just a few of the 650 + video testimonies on the relax sauna...

Leafy greens, beans, and whole grains have long been celebrated as the heart of a clean, nutrient-rich diet. And yes — they can be incredibly nourishing. But there’s a side of the story most people simply never hear: how certain crops accumulate heavy metals, how common pantry staples can harbor mold and mycotoxins, and how all of this can overwhelm the body’s natural detox systems… especially in people with sensitivities or impaired detox pathways.

Let’s pull back the curtain on the part that rarely gets talked about.

Thallium in Leafy Greens: What Most People Don’t Know
Some leafy greens — especially kale, chard, and mustard greens — are what botanists call “hyperaccumulators.” They’re very efficient at pulling minerals from the soil. The problem is that they don’t distinguish between minerals you want and metals you absolutely don’t.

If the soil contains thallium or other heavy metals, those greens can soak it up.

Thallium exposure has been associated with:

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

DNA strand breakage

Neurological symptoms

Mood changes

This doesn’t mean kale “causes” depression or neurological issues. But for people already dealing with inflammation or impaired detoxification, thallium becomes one more burden the body has to manage.

Why Children With Autism Can Be More Sensitive
Many parents intuitively notice that their child on the spectrum is more sensitive to environmental triggers than other children — and there’s a reason this can happen.

Many autistic individuals have variations in genes involved in detoxification and methylation, including MTHFR. These variations don’t mean anything is “wrong,” but they can slow or alter the way the body processes toxins.

That means heavy metals, mold toxins, and chemical residues may:

Build up more quickly

Hit harder

Stay in the system longer

Interfere more with neurological and immune function

For a child already dealing with sensory processing, gut challenges, or nervous system overload, these exposures can compound the stress on the body, sometimes showing up as sleep issues, irritability, mood changes, or behavioral shifts...
