If you’re walking the autism recovery journey with your child, you’ve probably experienced moments that feel confusing—or even discouraging.

Just when things seem to be improving, a behavior resurfaces.

A new challenge shows up.

Sleep shifts. Digestion changes. Emotions run higher.

And the question creeps in:

“Are we doing something wrong?”

I want to gently reassure you today:

Uneven progress is not only common—it’s often a sign that healing is happening.

One of the biggest misconceptions parents face is the idea that recovery should look like a straight line:

Improvement → more improvement → no setbacks.

But the body doesn’t heal that way—especially when we’re supporting neurological, immune, and detox pathways all at once.

Healing tends to happen in layers and waves.

You may see:

• A leap forward in communication, followed by emotional sensitivity
• Better sleep, paired with temporary digestive changes
• Increased awareness before behaviors settle down

This doesn’t mean you’re going backward. It means the body is reorganizing and recalibrating.

When the nervous system begins to regulate and the body starts clearing stored toxins or inflammation, it can temporarily feel uncomfortable.

Children don’t always have the words to express that internal shift—so it can come out as:

• Increased stimming
• Emotional outbursts
• Fatigue or restlessness
• Sensory sensitivity

From a healing perspective, this often signals that the body is waking up, not shutting down.

Progress isn’t always obvious at first, especially if we’re only watching behaviors. Some early signs of healing include:

• Changes in sleep patterns (even if temporary)
• Digestive shifts or improved elimination
• Increased emotional expression or awareness
• More eye contact or curiosity
• Periods of fatigue followed by clarity or calm...

There’s been a lot of conversation around autism—what’s working, what’s not, and how overwhelmed families can feel trying to support their children in a way that actually makes sense.

After recently hosting a 3-day autism recovery blueprint event where I walked parents through my 4 stage process for optimum results in autism recovery, I wanted to take a moment to slow things down and reflect on it. Not to introduce something new—but to share what I’ve been seeing consistently inside the Naturally Recovering Autism membership.

(By the way, if you missed the 3-day event you may still be able to catch the replays before the links expire by going to NaturallyRecoveringAutism.com/GO.)

Because sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer isn’t another strategy, but a clear concise roadmap that a parent can follow…

Plus, real stories from real families who are walking this path too.

When my own son was diagnosed with autism 20 years ago now, I was told to drug him and try behavioral therapies-basically, good luck. They told us we would be managing his symptoms the rest of his life.

Fortunately, my background as a Craniosacral Therapist studying the brain and holistic health let me know the brain can and does heal, but I had to research autism more specifically to find out what was going on and what the solutions were so my son could live his best life possible.

Naturally Recovering Autism was created with a simple, but often overlooked belief:

when the body is supported in a holistic, gentle, and consistent way, it has an incredible ability to move toward balance.

This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all answers.

It’s about education, nervous system support, detox pathways, lifestyle shifts, clearing coinfections and empowering parents to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, and HOW to do it.

And over time, that support adds up.

Inside the membership, families often share changes that may feel small at first—but are deeply meaningful:..

Autism is changing — not because autistic people are changing, but because our understanding of autism is finally catching up to the lived reality of millions of individuals and families.

For decades, autism was described in narrow, stereotypical terms: one “type,” one path, one set of behaviors. The diagnosis was something handed to people, not something that reflected the full complexity of who they were.

But today, the conversation is shifting.

New research, broader cultural understanding, and the voices of autistic individuals themselves are ushering in a more accurate, more compassionate, and more inclusive view.

We’re entering a new era — one where diagnosis, diversity, and identity work together to give us a deeper picture of what autism really means.

Diagnosis: From Narrow Labels to Nuanced Understanding

Historically, autism diagnosis was based on a narrow checklist of observable behaviors. These frameworks unintentionally left out large groups of people, especially:...
