Webinar Replay: Autism: Learning From Angels Among Us

Before you watch this webinar…

Check out our introductory blog post Autism: Learning From Angels Among Us

In recent years, autism has become an ever present term in the landscape of our lives.

Since 1975, Autism Spectrum Disorder has risen in prevalence from 1 in 5,000 children to 1 in 36 children in 2016, and we are now on target to experience 1 in 3 children with ASD by 2035.

Join us as we explore the causes, presentations, management resources, and prognosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Hear first-hand from two mothers and their two teenage sons who are thriving in the context of autism.

Through proper support, we can understand autistic children as extraordinary individuals wired to see themselves, humanity, and the world differently. It is my hope that we can come together as a scientific, medical, and global community to better understand our relationship to the toxicity in our environment and the solutions at hand to create a brighter future.

“He came into the world as my guru. He’s really the one who guided me to be more authentic and to take better care of myself and to reconnect with my authentic self. When I did that, he was given permission to do the same thing.”

– Megan Buer

Navigating the Journey of Autism

Here are several coping mechanisms that can help childrens, parents, and families faced with autism:

• Encourage proper nutrition, prioritizing real food over processed

• Get back to basics: breathwork, spend time outside, ground barefoot in mother nature (bonus if done with kids!)

• Eliminate stressors, particularly stressful events and people

• As a parent, always acknowledge how you’re feeling

• Utilize the power of your mindset

• Avoid treating yourself or your child as someone who is broken or sick

• Invest your resources on things you find to be healing and empowering

“The gift I’ve been given is my own transformation.”

– Cass Curi
