Sitting in my car trying not to cry.

We had such a beautiful morning. Playing catch in the front yard, listening to Lady Gaga, laughing. Everything was fine. And then on the way to school, something switched.
I don’t know what triggered it. My 7 year old autistic son got stuck in a mental loop and started screaming. I tried to keep him calm, keep my daughter calm, keep myself calm.

By the time we got to school he was completely dysregulated. He started scratching me, biting me, kicking me. He was kicking and scratching his aide, too. Hard.

I have bite marks on my arms, scratches on my neck and face. And I’m sitting here wondering what the hell just happened.

The hardest part is not knowing why.

Was it something I said? Something he was thinking? Is he getting sick? Because every single time this boy gets sick, it’s like we lose so much progress overnight.

And sometimes, in the middle of all this, he’ll scream, “Hug Mommy!”

So I go to hug him.

And he bites me. Hard.

And my heart just breaks.

Because I know he’s not trying to hurt me. I know something is happening inside his little body and brain that he can’t communicate or control in that moment.

But knowing that doesn’t make it hurt any less.
It’s the whiplash of it all. One minute we’re laughing and dancing to Lady Gaga, and the next I’m being physically attacked by the little boy I love more than life itself. And then I have to get back in my car, pull myself together, and somehow go about my day.

some days, this is what autism parenting looks like for us.

I love my son more than anything in this world.
And sometimes this is really, really fu***ng hard.
Both things are true.

I’ve literally had people tell me that because taking my nonverbal lvl 3 autistic child to a birthday party was overwhelming for me, that means I also have autism. Actually no. That’s called being a human. Not every human experience requires a diagnosis. Just because you’re more overwhelmed one day than the next, doesn’t mean you’re level 3 on those days. Just like when my son decides to initiate social interaction with another child one day but not the next… that wasn’t a “level 1 day”. Level 1, 2, and 3 are based on support needs not how you feel on any given day.

You cannot diet or supplement your way to health living an indoor life away from the sun and magnetic field of earth.

I’m going over the two panels we have at home: the PlatinumLED BIOMAX 300 and the PEDETE M70.

I originally invested in the PlatinumLED for my son because I wanted a larger, higher-output panel with multiple wavelengths. It stays in his therapy room, and I get the benefit of using it during our daily home care together.

The PEDETE is my little everyday wellness panel. I wanted something affordable and portable that I could use at my desk, while getting ready, or wherever it’s convenient.

Two very different price points and two different purposes.

→ Red vs. near-infrared wavelengths
→ Irradiance and why more power isn’t always better
→ Low EMF and flicker
→ Pulsing frequencies and whether they actually matter
→ What separates a $100 panel from a $600+ panel
→ Other brands worth researching, including EMR-TEK, Hooga, and LUMEBOX

And just to clarify, we’re talking about LED red light panels, not laser therapy. Both can be used for photobiomodulation, but they’re different technologies.

I’m not claiming either panel is the best on the market. I’m simply sharing why I chose them and what I’ve learned about red light panels over the past two years.

REMEMBER: no red light panel can replace full-spectrum natural sunlight. ☀️

Do you use red light therapy? What panel do you have?

Forgot to mention I also got grounding socks from Harmony 783 and love them! Sites you can check out: Harmony 783, Earthing Harmony, or just search “grounding shoes”. For the shoe kit go to earthrunners.com!

And I guarantee you an autistic mother’s moments of weakness are never about themselves. We are deeply entangled with our children in a way most people will never understand, and everything we do and feel is directly connected to them.
