Autism recovered: Can we call it shop class...

Medical experts say it's not possible to recover autism. We have living proof in the form of three children, that it IS possible. By the time I started this blog, recovery had already happened, but it took years. Parenting children with autism is incredibly difficult but I have to say shifting your parenting skills once they are recovered requires some doing. We're slowly learning and I love sharing the journey. This is a place where I will chronicle our lives at this time and occasionally revisit some of the old times... but only to discuss what we did and learned, what helped and what didn't. Autism will never be missed but the lessons learned during that time of our life are invaluable.

Can we call it shop class...

...if all they're doing is tearing it apart? LOL I called is shop, DH said kids learn how to put things back together in shop. Regardless, I thought it was adorable that they didn't even take time to change out of their swimsuits before digging into the guts of these broken radios. :)

LOL Kayla! I have no idea how to put them together again either. Hubby said he would have helped them put them back together except they cut wires in many places before he realized it. HA! Maybe next time...

My EASY thing

Recovering children from autism, or recovering anyone from ANY health issue, is not easy. It just isn't. It is my experience that food is at the base of any health recovery option. Everything you put in your mouth either fuels your health or your illness.

Eating enough fruits and veggies isn't easy in any way, shape or form. Our food is processed to death and by the time it get to our plate, it's probably closer to "essence" of fruit or veggie than it is to actually being a raw fruit or vegetable. Health professionals everywhere recommend 7-13 fruits and veggies a DAY to maintain health. To actively pursue healing, you need even more!

But there is a solution to make it a bit easier. It gets 17 fruits, veggies and grains into my kids each day and is SO easy. It's a great tool for moms everywhere looking for a yummy way to get these things into children (and themselves) without a fight. Check out my secret weapon, read the science, listen to the video. VERY educational and explains a lot of what I believe about food and the need for such diligence in what we eat.

Remember, you are what you eat. Don't be a twinkie. :)
