This week, Cass and Len dive deep on one key concept.  It’s a short episode but the message has a long-lasting impact.   After a child is diagnosed with ASD, gung-ho parents usually dive in and intervene. They start therapy, medication, supplementation, or special diets to try to help their child. There's nothing wrong with that... but the fast path to finding answers that are right for a child on...

Today, we’re exploring the concept that was true for us.  When parents judge what their child is doing as wrong they become the problem.  For only seeing the problems, you miss the solutions.   When a parent can shift their perspective, and realize they are part of the problem, they can see clearer solutions for their child.    When our son was first diagnosed with Autism, we went into hyper-fix-i...

Why Warrior? In this episode we go deep on the term "Warrior" and how it has nothing to do with War.  A Warrior is all about a parent’s love for their child and their willingness to go ALL-IN.   You've heard us say it repeatedly, so we thought it was time to take a deep dive into what it truly means to be a warrior parent. At its core, a warrior parent accepts and loves their child as they are. An...

This week's episode is part 2 of our discussion with our client, Helen Shanley.
