Success Story: Thomas Lost His Autism Diagnosis

Original Symptoms & Diagnoses:

Autism

Before:

"Don't waste your money or time. Thomas will never have more than fifty words. He will never fall in love and save your money because you'll have to institutionalize him one day when you can no longer care for him."

After:

My highest high was when he was released from speech therapy.

I helped my son heal from autism. You can too.

My lowest low was when I was told I was likely too old to be a mother, and this is why Thomas was the way he was. I didn’t know how to play with him.

What the Doctor Said

I had already researched some things I wanted to do. We were gonna do diet intervention. I had already gone to an environmental doctor to get Thomas tested, and she said:

“Don’t waste your money or time.

Thomas will never have more than fifty words.

He will never fall in love and save your money because you’ll have to institutionalize him one day when you can no longer care for him.”

Environmental doctor

She Didn’t Listen to That

The most impactful therapy we tried was diet. We followed the Body Ecology Diet. You know, we kinda did it in baby steps, and it just seemed like as we cleaned his gut up, you know, his brain cleaned up a little bit more and kinda started gaining words again, starting to develop some health self help skills.

Highest Moment

My highest high was when he was released from speech therapy.

“After I graduate, I plan to do graduate school, since I’m doing accounting for my undergraduate, I do plan to get my CPA, certification.

I’m so grateful for my friends, my family, just anyone that, you know, inspires me to be social. Just, you know, communication, person to person, that’s the best way for me to just understand the world.”

Thomas

I am so proud that I allowed my motherly intuition to take over and not listen to mainstream doctors.

And I preach that to people a lot. You have to have research. Right? That when you have done the research and you’re that mother, you know, honor that. Trust it.
