Tree Hugging Hippy Momma's views n vents

Lady Jae? A name says so much! I am referred to by many! Now with my dx of Narcolepsy, and/or idiopathic hypersomnia I thought of changing it! But what to?
Ok so not really just being goofy. Need to look at it all in a humorous light!
I am mom! This is my blog! Its about Autism, Aspergers and the whole spectrum! its from my POV as a mom to AS children, as someone who has been around several others in the spectrum, as a Naturopathic Healer who loves to work with, focus on Issues of the Spectrum (many other things also)
I have been trying to put all my info, resources on here for others. I get asked a lot, I wanted a place to just send people to get all I have put together. I am NOT an expert, I am always learning. Everything here I have learned from personal experience, reading, research, doctors, My children, others in the spectrum, and trial and error! Some things work for us but not others. Even with the similarities children with AS or Autism, are different, unique individuals, full of life, love, and yearning for knowledge. They process differently, they see the world differently, learn differently, act and react different,feel the things we do just differently, and its expressed differently!



This is a project in the works. I have a lively household! 7 kids, me and my mom! I am asked often about Aspergers and other syndroms/disorders in my home. Things I deal with daily. I decided that instead of the "let me get back to you on that" Then I spend hours putting together links and other info to send out, that I would set up a blog with all the info I have come across through the years! Then I can say go checkout..... I am in no way an expert, what I have learned has been trial and error, study, research, real life experience, therapist, doctors, my kids and me. In my house between us all we have, Bi-polar, OCD, Dis associative identity disorder, Generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobic, ADHD, Aspergers, Auditory Processing Disorder other sensory disorders- touch, sound, taste,hearing.
One of my sons with Aspergers helped with the name! He and my mom came up with the link name- Autspergers to go! A combo of the words Aspergers and autism. We have taken the approach that laughter must be in life no matter what’s going on, we try to laugh no matter how bad the day. Although some look at us oddly, sense of humor for an Aspergers or autistic child/adult is unique! It is there, many may not see it but if you look its there!
I am a separated mom to a total of 10 children, 3 my step children. Of the 10, 7 are home.
I have had comments about the many disorders/syndromes in my home. People who do not have a clue, ignorant, lacking knowledge say "It’s due to home schooling" or "what are you doing wrong?" "You must have done something to cause it"
None of these are accurate. Genetics plays a big roll! And  since we are related there ya go! I am putting all I have learned here I have 2 other blogs. I also have 2 small business I run from home. 1 is Natural personal and home products www.essencethrutheages.com  the other uses Natural healing in many forms, as a Naturopathic Healer, a student I offer consultations online and in person. I also teach. I can do it in person, through email, IM, chats, web cam, phone, and any other way you can think of. I offer payment plans, my prices are low because I want to help others. I don't want money to keep a person from seeking help ever. So if you look at my fees and decide you cant afford the payment plans either email  me. I offer grants for those in need and other options to make it possible to get help. I also have an incentive program that you can earn money, services, or product through. My Naturopathic site is Renaissance of Natural Healing and Knowledge. Both sites are being finished, so if you have questions contact me. Some day soon I hope they are complete!
Feel free to comment, ask questions, input how thoughts and feelings. Please keep all comments respectful, nice and clean. I do reserve the right to delete anything that I feel inappropriate. I would prefer not to have to do that. This is here as a resource for parents and anyone needing to know more for whatever the reason. Maybe this will be a source of support, as well as a place to go for accurate information for anyone needing information on the subject. I know it can be lonely and frustrating at times to be the parent of a special needs child. In this world where "normal" may not be what you have. I teach my kids we are "normal" for us! Whatever "normal" is!
Schooling, Studies, Education, Qualifications
I currently see Clients while studying at The Avicenna Institute to get my Masters, ND, Islamic Healing Degree, Reflexology, Typology, Aromatherapy. Already Certified Nutritional healer and an Herbalist.

Before enrolling in school I studied on my own, took classes, read books on Nutrition, Herbs, healing, watched and listened to many seminars and webinars for over 20 years. I applied the knowledge I gained on myself family and friends. Having Special Needs children, Aspergers, Tourettes, Depression, anxiety, Emotional Disorders,Bi-Polar and more in close family and children pushed me to study specific illness to better help them. The more I learned the more I could help my children and teach my children. I Home educates my children. The personal experience of dealing with Aspergers and Disorders in the spectrum in my children,family and friends lead to my helping others that have children in the spectrum ~ a goal for a long time.

After my son was found to be very ill due to an extreme allergy to dairy I began researching. When I took him in for his 6 month recheck on progress he was 1 1/2 year ahead of the doctors schedule. After talking to the doctor I was informed the doctor had learned a lot that day and felt I should get word out, write about the Natural approach I took, the nutrition changes, and allergy improvement. The result is websites, articles, more studies on the subject to be able to help more clients, more children and adults. Now I Specialize in Nutritional needs of others, I have learned that many problems can be traced back to food allergies of some kind. Very often Dairy, Gluten, sugar, and dyes are involved. The goal then becomes eating appropriate foods, getting healthy and staying that way. I guides you in the process helping you lean how to eat better for you and family. Providing recipes, menus, and guides you until your confident to go alone. I also help families learn to cope and accept the Special Needs, limitations and difficulties. Showing how small things can make a big difference in the life of an Autistic child, how to help them go with the flow through changes, how to remain calm when rages start and sometimes ways to stop a rage before it starts.

I have had many reasons to study pain personally, Breast feeding and Pregnancy are very important and consulting for both is always a wonderful thing. Illness, diabetes, everyday virus, whatever the need I try to help. I have spent as much time studying these as I have special Needs. I get as much enjoyment and satisfaction helping with these and simple health matters as I do Special Needs.

I also offers consultation to women returning to work, helping with resumes, showing how to use the skills used to run a home on a resume.

Empowering the world with the knowledge to control their health more, to live healthier lives has been a dream for a long time. With dreams coming together the hope is to put all of my knowledge together to help others, educate them, empower them so they may be Healthier themselves.
If Your needs falls to an area I do not work in thats ok, email anyway odds are I know someone that can help!
