  • Invaluable insight, resources and HOPE

    Thank you so much, Brigitte and Joseph, for creating this podcast! I am also an educator and mother guide for a very bright, high-functioning little boy. Early intervention has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for us, and that is just by enrolling him in an early childhood special education program in our neighborhood within our local school district. We still have quite a way to go, but I appreciate hearing about your experiences from both perspectives (mother and son). One major struggle we still have ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Transforming Behavior Through Nutrition with Sonya Bell
Q: Can you talk about how you discovered the link between food and behavior?
She describes encountering the Feingold program, learning about additives beyond just artificial colors, and deciding to start an elimination diet with careful tracking to observe how changes affected behavior.
Transforming Our Journey of Autism Through Presence and Play with Jennifer Briggs
Q: What is the Sunrise Program and how does it differ from traditional approaches like ABA?
Jennifer explains that the Sunrise Program focuses on presence, joining the child in their activities, and celebrating small moments of connection rather than forcing compliance; it's flexible and parent-led, often run at home with volunteers, and can be done online now.
The Power of Micro Shifts: Simple Tools for Overwhelmed Autism Parents with Kimberly Guche
Q: Oh let's jump into your 5 minute Chaos to Calm method. Can you walk us through that?
Kimberly explains the method as a simple, fast (five-minute) practice with three parts: reset the body, reconnect the mind with grounding and breath, and regulate the energy using techniques like thymus tapping. The goal is to move from a state of chaos to a calmer nervous system, so caregivers can respond more calmly to their child and create a more peaceful home environment.
Hope, Clarity & New Research: Navigating Autism with Dr. Theresa Lyons
Q: What are some common mistakes parents make when piecing together therapies or science on their own?
Reacting emotionally to quick-fix ideas seen online and attempting multiple therapies at once without a solid strategy or evidence-based plan leads to overwhelm; a grounded, symptom-focused approach helps prevent wasted effort and frustration.
Hope, Clarity & New Research: Navigating Autism with Dr. Theresa Lyons
Q: What is the most important thing parents should know when they first hear the autism diagnosis?
Ground yourself first, tell your support circle what you need, and avoid overwhelming yourself with information until you have a clear, small-step plan for what to tackle next.
