SLEEP is Too Important to Ignore Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 44 of the Autism Parenting Secrets.

In this episode, Cass and Len address the importance of Self-Care.

You cannot show up as your best-self to help your child if you’re running on fumes.

Caring for yourself is essential. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for your child!

There are so many ways a parent can care for themselves and none of them are selfish.

Diet and Exercise are two key areas of Self-Care that everyone knows about. They ARE important.

But Sleep is something that gets less attention and may be the most important of all.

If you think you can get away with less sleep, think again.

But even more important than how long you sleep is the quality of your sleep.

The good news is you can take actions today that will immediately improve the quality of your sleep.

This week, we are joined by J.B. Handley and J.B. shares his family’s Autism Miracle. The secret he shares… Your Child Understands EVERYTHING.

J.B was afraid to hope. It was just too painful. His autism journey has been long and his son was 18 and a non-speaker.

But what seemed like a long shot and based on a friend’s dramatic change with their own son. J.B reached out to Elizabeth Vosseller of Growing Kids Therapy Center, and the rest of their story is truly amazing.

These discoveries completely transformed the Handley family. With the new understanding that our children with Autism understand everything, J.B concluded that we’ve got Autism all wrong.

Through their story, J.B and Jamie hope to bring a renewed sense of hope and faith to those who might be feeling downtrodden by an Autism diagnosis.

Autism is a SUPERPOWER: You Don't Want 'Normal' Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

We’re back with part two of our conversation with Dr. Zach Bush. Dr. Bush shares so much wisdom and insights. Please listen with an open heart (you may want to listen to this more than once). The Secret this episode is … Autism Is a SUPERPOWER.

Dr. Bush shares why the autism journey is so incredibly unique and how individuals with autism are connected to a totally different knowledge field.

Our opportunity is to help each individual to be vibrating at their highest level. For when we do, they will be able to share their gifts with humanity.

Dr. Bush also reminds us that Autism is just a made up-word that was created to describe a complex human experience that we learn more about each day.

While recognizing the real challenges that individuals and families face, there’s also beauty and wisdom to gain. We can choose to shift our perspective and to see with fresh eyes the gifts people with autism have and the message they share. Autism is a SUPERPOWER.

Tune in for an incredibly enlightening conversation with Dr. Zach Bush!
