FYI for Parents & Families:

You may hear about tests such as stool analysis, hair mineral/heavy metal analysis, organic acid testing (OAT), food sensitivity testing, and other medical assessments discussed within autism communities. Some families explore these options for concerns related to gastrointestinal issues, nutrition, allergies, or other health-related symptoms.

Please keep in mind that not all tests are considered standard or evidence-based for autism evaluation or treatment, and some may only be appropriate when specific symptoms are present. Recommendations for medical testing should always come from your child’s pediatrician or qualified healthcare provider after reviewing your child’s individual history and needs.

As an ABA provider, we remain committed to ethical practice and staying within our scope of competence. Our role is to support behavior, learning, and skill development while collaborating with medical professionals when appropriate. We encourage families to discuss any medical concerns directly with their healthcare team so informed decisions can be made together.

People with ADHD have what’s called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). It’s an extreme emotional response to perceived criticism or rejection.

Your brain can’t regulate the emotional pain, so a small comment feels like a devastating attack. A minor correction feels like total failure. Someone’s tone feels like hatred.

It’s not oversensitivity. It’s not being dramatic. Your brain literally can’t modulate the intensity of that emotional response.

It’s neurological, not a character flaw.

💙 Thank you all so much for the responses on my last post. Your feedback truly helps us understand what services are most needed in our community, and I appreciate every comment and message.

As I continue preparing to open GABA Neuro, I also want to be honest and say that I cannot do this work alone. My prayer is that I will be able to build a team of responsible, compassionate, and professional Registered Behavior Technicians who truly care about the families we will serve.

If you or someone you know would be interested in going through the RBT certification process once my training and clinic preparations are complete, that is one of the best ways you can support this vision and help me better support our community. Together, we can build something truly impactful for Washington Parish and surrounding areas. 🧠🦋💙

Thank you again for believing in this journey and supporting what is to come.

ABA therapy, social skills groups, parent training, school support, after school programs, or something else?

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback helps shape what we build for our families. 🧠
