Believing In Autism Recovery When Others Don’t [Podcast #201]

Author: Karen Thomas, Founder, CEO August 21, 2024 Duration: 21:37
We’re told a child cannot recover from autism, Right? Wrong! When parents first receive an autism diagnosis for our child, we often hear statements like, “Your child will never fully recover,” or “Your child will never speak,” or “There’s no cure for autism.” While for some an autism diagnosis will remain along with some of their symptoms, We also know that these statements are not true. Children all over the world are recovering from their symptoms of autism in all levels of recovery. My own son is fully recovered from his symptoms, even when I was told it wasn’t possible. I’ve helped parents worldwide get results for their kids too. One mom I helped said she was told that her son would “NEVER” speak, but today she says he is speaking ‘endlessly’. Many parents hold onto the belief that their children can make significant strides in their development, often achieving levels of independence and success that defy early expectations. If you’re one of those parents, then this podcast is for you. You refuse to accept limitations and believe in your child’s potential for recovery. One of the most dangerous things you can do is allow yourself to be alone on this journey. It is hard and sometimes even scary. You don’t have to do this alone. It is so important to have a support system and a community of like-minded parents who “get it”! They’re living it too and know what it’s like. It makes all the difference. Understanding the Spectrum of Autism Recovery The concept of “recovery” in autism is complex and varies from child to child. For some, recovery might mean gaining the ability to communicate effectively or perform daily tasks independently. For others, it might mean overcoming sensory sensitivities or developing social relationships. Recovery does not necessarily imply the complete elimination of autism traits but rather a significant improvement in the quality of life and functional abilities. Kevin is one of these stories. Three years ago Kevin was thirteen years old but still biting and kicking kids at school in fear and anxiousness that was debilitation for him, and others. Now, just three years later, with my help, Kevin is now calm, happy, and the leader in his summer youth camp. His mom, Mary, shared Kevin’s story of transformation in podcast episode #182.
