No, this number is not increasing because of vaccines or big pharma or taking Tylenol while pregnant. If you learn one thing today, on World Autism Awareness Day, learn that.

According to the CDC, the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders is increasing due to better awareness, improved screening, and broader diagnostic criteria allowing for earlier and more inclusive identification. This means more kids are getting more help and they're getting it earlier on, and often times early intervention is a big key to success.

To learn more about resources for your children, please check out . I also have contacts for other advocate mommas- you don't have to power through this on your own! 💙🩵

Breathe out and stretch your arms up and out then bring them down to your sides like a sunset. 🌅

PI Day > Pi Day...

PI was my cousin, Chris', nickname and, coincidentally, he lost his life in a motorcycle accident on Pi Day, 16 years ago today. We love and miss you, Chris Lee- you would be so proud to see how our whole family has grown. You would have been the coolest Uncle Chris to our babes, and we will never stop missing you. 💙

I get it. This used to happen with my friends Sarah and Christine alllll the time. Helping my kiddos navigate it now so they can build up the confidence and courage to stand up for themselves later. Remember: "You get to teach other people how to treat you."

There are two things that are nonnegotiables for me: health alerts and safety alerts...

💭 I use this language exactly so they know the "why" behind my answer.

Why it (sometimes) works: straight-forward, explains your "why," and keeps it simple.

Diagnoses, traumas, and personality traits do NOT define who your children are. They are NOT ADHD, they have ADHD, and they also have a million other amazing attributes.

🧩 This puzzle activity helps my clients realize there are many parts that make up the incredible kiddos that are in front of me. From pets to friends, hobbies to unique interests- they are all pieces of the bigger picture.
