October is National Down syndrome awareness month!
Normally I would share something about acceptance, inclusion or a general fact about Down syndrome!
The fact is more needs to be shared about the health of kids! Many suffer from Obesity, diabetes, Thyroid issues, respiratory issues and Autism!
Yes The Dual diagnosis of Autism in Children with Down syndrome is still not talked about enough! 1 in 20 Children with Down syndrome are also diagnosed with Autism! My son is one of them!
I want to share something that I wish I new 16 years ago, because if I did just maybe my son would be higher functioning.
The neurotoxin “pandemic! It is a real thing, and something parents need to be aware of.
Is it really Autism, or could it be because our children are already so vulnerable that become victims of Neurodevelomental toxicity! Yes I said it!!
You don’t have to take my word on it, just GOOGLE IT the research is there!
I believe that our kids have already so much to overcome, so many health and cognitive issues right into adult hood, so why take a chance!
16 years ago, I did not know the effects my every day household products might have on my sons brain development!
There was not internet, no research readability available, and there certainly were not safer alternatives that actually worked.
Today there is!! I love that I can get everything I need from one store
, to make my home a safer less toxic home for my son!!
