Agitation in Alzheimer’s is one of the hardest symptoms families deal with… and for a long time, we’ve had very limited options.

A new FDA approval for Auvelity could change that.

This is the first non-antipsychotic approved for agitation in Alzheimer’s, which is a big shift in how we think about treatment and safety in this population.

Does it replace everything we’ve been doing? No.
But it does give us another option… and that matters.

If you’re a caregiver or provider, this is definitely something to have on your radar.

Have you seen agitation in a loved one with dementia? What has helped the most?

It’s that split-second moment…
when your child does something others might question—
and instead of stares, you get understanding.

You catch each other’s eye,
and there’s this quiet, instant comfort:

They get your kid.
You get theirs.

No explaining the behavior.
No apologizing.
No trying to translate your child to the world.

Just this mutual, unspoken “we’re good here.”

For a moment, everything feels easier. 🤍 We got this gang!!

If you’re parenting a child with autism, or you’re in that “something feels off but I don’t have answers yet” stage… I want to hear from you 🤍

What would have actually helped you in the beginning?
What questions did you have that no one answered clearly?
What guidance do you wish someone gave you sooner?

I’m creating more content and resources specifically for parents in this space, and I want it to be real, practical, and actually helpful, not just textbook advice.

Drop your thoughts below or message me if it feels easier. Your experience could help another parent feel less alone.

I was asked to write for our company’s April Newsletter, and got to share our story with our 500-600 employees!

I am so thankful to work for people that care for their employees and their families. There are so many autism families that a parent has to stop working, to care for the kids. I have been blessed, as stressing as it can be, to work a full time job and be able to make sure our kiddos get to the therapies they need.

The work is hard and the days are long, but I know it will help them in the long run! So nevertheless, I persist!

I kept thinking I was just overwhelmed or not managing my time well enough. But deep down, it felt different than that.

Like I wasn’t showing up the way I used to.
Less patience. Less bandwidth. More overstimulation.

And it’s confusing when you’ve been through objectively harder seasons and handled them better than you are now.

That’s what pushed me to start looking at hormones more seriously.

I’m not saying everything is perimenopause.
But I am saying more women are dealing with this than we talk about.

If you’ve had that quiet thought of “I don’t feel like myself lately”… you’re not the only one.

Follow along if you want honest, real-time sharing of what I’m learning through this.
