Autism is NOT Hardwired

This episode, we had a conversation with Dr. Martha Herbert, a pediatric neurologist and neuroscience, on the power of synergy. She explains how the exponential impact of doing a few key interventions at the same time can lead to significant improvements in children with Autism. Dr. Herbert introduces an informative perspective on the nature of Autism as a whole. She proposes that it isn't a predisposed and fixed impairment as it’s typically described to be. Instead, Autism is the result of a combination of events, and once those incidents are isolated, parents are better able to treat the individual symptoms. This leads to healthier, happier, and more connected children. Throughout our discussion, we touch on the importance of working on one thing at a time and understanding that Autism isn't just situated in the brain but, in actuality, the entire body. We believe this episode will help guide you to the next steps in caring for your child and enlighten you about an Autism diagnosis's true identity. Dr. Herbert is a treasure-trove of wisdom, and we're so excited to share her insights with you!
