Show Notes

This first episode covers the early years from childbirth to diagnosis and horrific symptoms to the first signs of a completely unexpected autism turnaround.
In this episode, I dive into the diagnosis, the first sign of autism, papers from the hospital and the experts, our family album and a bunch of painful and exciting memories.
How we went from a newlywed expecting couple with so much anticipation to shattered dreams and an autism diagnosis within 4 years. It's the story of an ordinary family who trusted the doctors and authorities from our son's hospital birth, the many mistakes made in the first months of parenting, to getting the diagnosis.

In this episode, you will hear:
The story of my son's birth and my time as a depressed and anxious mother. I was overwhelmed with a child who got sicker and sicker with infections, asthma, allergies, and breathing problems. The more I listened to advice from the nurses and doctors, the worse my son became.
The ticking time bombs in our house, fridge, doctor's office and city that were about to take our child from us for years to come.
The first signs of autism, the seizure and why we were in denial.
The process of diagnosis from age 2 - 4.
The apathetic behavior, violence, stimming, sleepless nights, night terrors, screaming, lack of eye contact and physical contact that drove us to the ground.
The many times our son put himself in danger and the pain of losing our social lives, family life and dreams to the endless stress and fear.
Why we are sending the children to the wrong experts and why believing that a diagnosis is a life sentence almost ruined our life for good.
The 4 wake up calls (including pinworms) that saved us from a destiny as victims and finally gave me the signs and the knowledge we needed to start helping our son, saving our family, our health and future PLUS overcome asthma and allergies.

The BIG SHIFTS we had to make in our life, what truly worked and what was a waste of time, money and energy (including autism diets, low oxalate diets, autism supplement protocols, chelation, SCD, broth, kefir, fish oil and other bad ideas).

Why we quit gurus, ABA, therapy, support from the social services and the Autism Society and why that is the reason why our son overcame his symptoms.

The first signs of healing and the link between our lifestyle, autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies.

The main takeaways.
