How my ex-husband felt, helped & struggled through our autism turnaround.

For the first time since their divorce 10 years ago and 15 years after their son's recovered from autism,

Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson has a heart-to-heart conversation with her ex about his version of the story.

This truly is an "open mike" situation.

Many of the talking points in this conversation has never been shared before and we have never talked about this.

Many aha moments and scary memories as well as hope and great tips for autism moms and autism dads.

In this episode, we reveal:
How did autism show up and how did he notice the shift from "normality" to tantrums, stimming, screaming and violence?

A man's perspective: The autism recovery and autism turnaround. 

His version of the story (does it fit mine?).

How he felt before, during and after the diagnosis?

What it felt like to be 23, just married and a father for the first time and have THIS happen to you?

What happened after the diagnosis and how he dealt with doctors, experts and other parents (and why he lost his belief in authority). 

Why he resisted BIG time (and what he HATED) about my plans for recovery. 

What it felt like when we changed EVERYTHING (food, lifestyle, house, EVERYTHING) And what he felt about me? 

Why he gave me 2 months to prove that I could turn his symptoms around. 

Finding the road to recovery and that pivotal moment when he knew that we were recovering our son. 

His darkest moments and the most scary scenarios in the worst phases of autism. 

Dealing with sceptics, friends and family members. 

Why autism pulled us apart and why he supported the lifestyle and me even after divorce (and our unusual living arrangements).

His best tips for moms and dads to get men on boards and overcome scepticism. 

His feelings about the boy's new life in The UK and his opinions about them. 

His new life with new girlfriend and baby - and what his life, lifestyle and diet is like now.

2 ways to work with me
Autism symptoms are not always (but sometimes)  spiritual. My son lost the symptoms that gave him the diagnosis, and lives a neurotypical life (independently) I have coached moms for 20 years.

1️⃣ Free consultation
Send me a list of symptoms and what you've tried so far.
I'll audit your child's issues and tell you what triggers your child's symptoms, and plan next steps to address them to get less stimming, tantrums, eloping, sensory issues, sleeplessness, and aggression without tests, protocols, or battling with your child. 

Write "audit" in the subj line to book a call with me. We can also connect via Telegram if you hate Zoom.

2️⃣ The Christian Autism Liberation Program (30 spots left for 2026/2027)
Reduce symptoms noticeably.  Without the hamster wheel of holistic healing, tests, or extreme diets.
