Chicagoland autism families! ✈️

On October 17th, the team at Believing is Achieving Autism Services is partnering with Holiday Airways to host Believe Above the Clouds at Schaumburg Regional Airport. A first of its kind Aviation for Autism event for the Chicagoland area.

They are putting together a completely FREE day for children with autism and their families, and one of the coolest parts is that kids will have the opportunity to actually go up in a small airplane for a 15–20 minute discovery flight!

They will also have a bunch of unique airplanes on display for kids to not only see but climb inside of and take pictures, food, games, activities, sensory-friendly areas and other things for families to enjoy throughout the day.

October 17th
📍 Schaumburg Regional Airport
✈️ Free for families & Open to everyone

You can check out all of the details and register here:

While most fragrance chemicals are not disclosed, we do know that some are linked to serious health problems such as cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies and sensitivities.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener as well as perfumes and lotions (personal care products) that are "scented" are so toxic for your health. If you have children, they are at greater risk of allergies and developmental delays when exposed to these synthetic chemicals.

Many products list “fragrance” on the label, but very few name the specific ingredients that make up a “fragrance.” This lack of disclosure prevents consumers from knowing the full list of ingredients in their products.

I am in training right now to be able to run and interpret functional labs so that I can further support my Autistic clients and their families.

Spraying perfume directly onto your neck exposes a highly vulnerable area to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic musks. The skin on the neck is uniquely thin, delicate and highly vascularized compared to other parts of the body. Because it lacks a thick epidermal barrier, its permeability is significantly higher, allowing topically applied compounds to cross into the local tissue and dermal capillaries with ease. Situated immediately beneath these superficial layers is the thyroid gland, the biological master controller of metabolic and hormonal homeostasis. While the thyroid is protected by layers of fat and muscle, a growing body of researchers noted that frequent, cumulative exposure to synthetic fragrance chemicals in this precise regional zone can increase local tissue toxicity and systemic chemical absorption.

Once these chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream, they can act as hormone mimickers or blockers, throwing off the body’s delicate endocrine signaling. Common fragrance stabilizers, synthetic musks and triclosan, possess molecular structures that can bind to hormone receptors, including thyroid and estrogen receptors. Over time, this cumulative “toxic load” can disrupt the production, transport, and conversion of essential thyroid hormones. This interference can compromise energy regulation, metabolic rates, and overall reproductive health.

Unfortunately, because most perfumes contain synthetic chemicals, regardless of where on your body you spray them, you are at risk of hormone disruption. Check out the comments section for purely botanical perfumes & oils, the references for the information here and the full health impacts of synthetic fragrance.
