    Listening to What’s Working: Reflections Of Autism Support and Success Stories from Naturally Recovering Autism [Podcast #238]

    2026/1/27 | 19 mins.
    There’s been a lot of conversation around autism—what’s working, what’s not, and how overwhelmed families can feel trying to support their children in a way that actually makes sense.

    After recently hosting a 3-day autism recovery blueprint event where I walked parents through my 4 stage process for optimum results in autism recovery, I wanted to take a moment to slow things down and reflect on it. Not to introduce something new—but to share what I’ve been seeing consistently inside the Naturally Recovering Autism membership. 

    (By the way, if you missed the 3-day event you may still be able to catch the replays before the links expire by going to NaturallyRecoveringAutism.com/GO.)

    Because sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer isn’t another strategy, but a clear concise roadmap that a parent can follow…

    Plus, real stories from real families who are walking this path too.

    Why my program exists
    When my own son was diagnosed with autism 20 years ago now, I was told to drug him and try behavioral therapies-basically, good luck. They told us we would be managing his symptoms the rest of his life.

    Fortunately, my background as a Craniosacral Therapist studying the brain and holistic health let me know the brain can and does heal, but I had to research autism more specifically to find out what was going on and what the solutions were so my son could live his best life possible.

    Naturally Recovering Autism was created with a simple, but often overlooked belief:

    when the body is supported in a holistic, gentle, and consistent way, it has an incredible ability to move toward balance.

    This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all answers.

    It’s about education, nervous system support, detox pathways, lifestyle shifts, clearing coinfections and empowering parents to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, and HOW to do it.

    And over time, that support adds up.

    Success Stories 
    Inside the membership, families often share changes that may feel small at first—but are deeply meaningful:..

    Rethinking Autism: Diagnosis, Diversity, and Identity in a New Era of Understanding [Podcast Episode #237]

    2026/1/14 | 12 mins.
    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:...

    Understanding Autism Differently: Natural Ways to Support Children and Help Them Thrive [Podcast Episode #236]

    2025/12/24 | 15 mins.
    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)...
