Welcome to Episode 280 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

This week’s episode is about something too many parents aren’t told clearly enough.

The truth is that neurodevelopmental disabilities are not fixed or predetermined. 

The trajectory can be shifted. 

And parents play a much bigger role in that shift than they may realize.

To help unpack this, I’m joined again by Dr. Lawrence Palevsky -  a New York State–licensed pediatrician who has spent over three decades redefining children’s wellness through a holistic and integrative lens. 

He’s a past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and co-host of the podcast Critically Thinking with Dr. T & Dr. P.

If you’ve ever been told there’s nothing you can do, this conversation will help you see a much bigger picture.

The secret this week is…
