Total Wellness Empowerment Institute offers a certified autism health coach training program. This can be used by parents and grandparents for their own family or for professionals or anyone who wants to become a health coach and help the children diagnosed on the spectrum. We look at the emotional and behavioral impact, and the way we look at it is we’re looking at it from a biomedical and nutritional imbalance. So for emotional regulation, we look at stress and anxiety.
So constant sensory challenges can lead to those heightened stress levels resulting in panic attacks, anxiety, as well as mood swings because of the sensory inputs that give these rapid shifts in mood. That we see is the gut adrenal system causing this. And even the frustration and anger for the individual has an inability to effectively communicate sensory discomfort and needs can lead to frustration, anger, and aggression, and sometimes even self injury. For the behavioral issues, what is being triggered by the gut adrenal imbalances?
We see avoidance tactics, engaging in behaviors to avoid those sensory input, refusing to participate in activities that are not controlled environments, sensory seeking or avoiding. We either have extreme behaviors may develop repetitive touching of objects or avoiding certain textures and then meltdowns because the adrenal system is so overwhelmed. Now it has overwhelmed sensory experiences leading to overstimulation meltdowns because the child or the adult for that matter cannot control emotions and their actions in response to these triggers. The certified autism health coach training teaches what to look for in the functional medicine lab testing and how you can use nutraceuticals and food to balance out and deal with these irregulations.
