We've had parents and other adults ask us what the symptoms are if you're an adult on the spectrum.

We found a great article on ADDitude Magazine's website:

www.additudemag.com/autism-spectrum-disorder-in-adults

The article outlines the 3 broad areas of symptoms of autism in adults.

Then, it goes on to list common symptoms of autism in adults.

The second list covers autism symptoms in adults at home.

And, finally, a list of autism symptoms in adults at work.

We go through the lists and Michelle asks me my personal experiences with most of the symptoms.

An informative and helpful episode!

~Mark & Michelle @ Heal Your Autism

Mark and Michelle Hedges have been married 25 years. For the first 19 years of the marriage, Mark was an undiagnosed autistic. In 2013 and for the next 6 years they went on the GAPS Diet and then the Medical Medium Diet to heal Michelle's autoimmune issues and heal Mark's autism. It worked!

I've heard this myth a lot concerning autism: Autism is a different neurology or different wiring.

Sure, it is different, but not because it's healthy or normal.

If you're telling me that your unhealthy wiring makes you see the world clearly, you need to take a long, close look at your health.

If you're also telling me that your brain sees things correctly, then why is one of the fundamental traits of autism the inability to see social situations properly?

The assumption behind 'autism is a different wiring' is usually "Because our wiring is different, we're better at thinking than the rest of the world".

To make this statement means you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the broad range or neurodiversity that already exists in the NT world.

That's the subject of our show for tonight...

We'll see you all tomorrow night!

"Autism is who I am..." or "Autism makes me who I am". These are myths to me. For me, autism is a medical condition because when you recover, then you survive the recovery.

If you couldn't be separated from your autism then you'd be nothing but the symptoms of autism with no pesonality beyond the limitations of the condition. The stories of those who have recovered from autism make the previous statement untrue.

So, I issue my Healing Challenge in the video for those of you who think you can prove me wrong...

Anyway, enjoy the show and let us know how you like it!

We're hitting the nitty-gritty on genes, autism, and recovering from the disease.

For those folks who like to say 'autism is genetic', think again...

There isn't one single gene responsible for the condition. There are about 67 genes strongly linked to the disorder and about 200 more with weaker relations to autism. Besides, epigenetics affects how well a gene does its job of making a protein.

So, we talk about inheritability studies in identical twins, fraternal twins and non-twinned siblings. We explain that epigenetics strongly determines how well genes make proteins.

There's a lot of information here but it's all worth while in showing that autism isn't hardcoded into your life...

Enjoy the show!

We're starting a series of 'Why Autism Can Be Healed' with the subject of neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change over an individual's lifetime. So when I hear the statement, "Autism is hard-wired!" I cringe.

If your autism was hard-wired, then the rest of your body would be too. You could never heal from any injury or surgery. You'd die because your body couldn't adapt.

Think about that before you spout off about autism being a permanent condition!

My brain has healed so much that jobs that took me 1 1/2 hours to do, now take only 20 minutes. My motivation has gone through the roof in the past year and a half on Medical Medium...

Michelle and I discuss how my beliefs around work and personal motivation were so negative. I had trouble making myself start any project, do my schoolwork, or start and finish chores here at home!

Now that I'm so far on my healing journey, I'm finding that life has become much easier than it ever was when I was autistic.

You'll find this episode motivating and informative, so enjoy!

Not our most upbeat Live, but we get honest about how not listening to yourself in life can derail your life and financial well-being...

I share my experiences with listening to others instead of myself and how it lead me down a dark road, both spiritually and financially.

I talk about how not listening to myself kept me from my passion of computers. Now, I'm finally getting out of that path...

Any chronic illness whether autism or Lyme disease or anything else can keep you from financial well-being.

So, take control of your health by actively getting healthy so you don't create more problems later in life...

Many people think that weight loss is the goal of healing your body!

Well, I'm here to tell you that's only one piece of the pie. Everybody starts their healing journeys for different reasons. Some start because the mental or emotional pain of being unhealthy outweighs their physical pain. Others, like Michelle start because their physical pain is constantly preaching to them...

But, know that wherever you start your journey, that area is just one part of it all...

Remember the 4 areas: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual all play a part in a healthy human life.

We decided to talk about a subject I'm having to relearn: trusting myself again. Being chronnically ill with autism for so long, I gave up on having a thriving life. I was so sick that I couldn't count on myslef to handle the things in life I needed to.

Michelle relates how she felt while sick with Lyme disease and the toll it took on her work, social and musical life and how she's finally found a way out!

We delve into how the autistic brain can interpret communication literally. We show you the pitfalls of a literal perception and how NT loved ones need to be more specific in their communication to avoid literal responses.

We hope you find our show tonight informative and helpful!
