Mom Of Non-Verbal Child With Autism Helps Him Communicate & Write A Book - Laura Hirsch S7 E29

More Than Meets the Eye is a collaboration between a mother and son, Laura Hirsch and Trevor Hirsch. Trevor was diagnosed with regressive autism at age three. He is now 25 years old. He does not say a lot verbally, however Trevor learned how to play the piano and sing songs when he was 21 years old. Then, two years later, he started doing Spelling 2 Communicate, and learned to spell on a letterboard what he couldn’t say verbally. He spelled to his mom that he wanted to write a book with her about his life to inspire others. Trevor even chose the title of the book. As an author of numerous books, Laura knew she had to tell Trevor’s story. This method is giving a voice to the voiceless millions who have been trapped in a silent cage, and have been misunderstood their entire lives.

 

If this wasn’t enough, since Trevor has been doing Spelling 2 Communicate, he has been able to share with Laura that he has other gifts of telepathy and mediumship, and has proven that he can communicate with his horse, and angels (people in spirit). There is so much More Than Meets the Eye in so many people that appear to be cognitively disabled, when in fact, their disability could be a motor planning disability. What if they have been in there all along, hearing and remembering everything their entire lives, but just not able to get what is in their mind into verbal communication? Spelling 2 Communicate moves communication from the small motor movement of speaking to the large motor movement of using the arm to point to letters on a letterboard with the assistance of a communication partner.

 

This book challenges the mainstream view of people with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, and will empower people to get their nonverbal loved ones “on board.” With the autism rate in America at 1 in 36 and rising, with 40 percent of them considered nonverbal, parents need to know what is new and possible. Through spelled communication, many former nonverbal people with autism are finding their voices and changing their lives and futures. A spelling revolution is underway.

I was happily going through life devoted to my career as a healer and



massage therapist. I then went back to school in my mid-thirties to get

my Masters in Oriental Medicine. Suddenly I started feeling the clock

ticking, even though I was extremely busy and did not have a partner

at the time. I had always been hesitant to bring a child into this world,

but did not want to miss out.


Five years later, I did end up getting married and carried a baby into



the end of the first trimester before I had a miscarriage. I was 42

years old. It was then that I learned for the first time that

miscarriages, especially in the first trimester, are extremely common. I

connected with many women who suffer this trauma silently.


Never-the-less, I was devasted. I started studying everything I could



about infertility and how to fix it. That is when I discovered the work of

Weston Price, a dentist in the 1930s. His ancestral, nutrient dense diet

was an integral part of cultivating a new, more wholistic approach to

how I view fertility and women’s health.


I ended up leaving my first marriage a year after my miscarriage. I



remarried and my second husband and I tried for a while. I was fully

into peri-menopause by my mid forties and I knew my body did not

want to have a child. We participated in two adoption trainings,

including Foster Care. In the end we chose a different path and we

both really enjoy being the “fun aunt and uncle” to our nieces and

nephews. It takes a village.


I consider every illness or seeming mishap as an opportunity to study,



learn and then serve my patients from a heart centered perspective. I

really enjoy teaching about how to prepare your body for pregnancy as

a process similar to building the soil in the garden. Natural fertility

treatments are slower, yet much better for a woman’s body and for the

baby’s health. Seeing the babies I helped bring into the world at a

super market or farmer’s market is a really joyful reward.

I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine practicing acupuncture and herbal

medicine in Reno, Nevada. I practiced massage for 15 years and

acupuncture for the last fourteen years. I specialize in relieving chronic pain,

optimizing hormones and digestion and women’s health. I enjoy doing

patient education and teach classes on qi gong, acupressure and nutrition.

Suzzie came back on to discuss ALL things doula! Join us as we chat finances, time, contracts, standard of care, informed consent, family scheduling, etc…

Hi I'm Suzzie, a doula and childbirth educator. 

Like many moms I had a turbulent entry to motherhood. First with a molar pregnancy and loss and then with an emergency c-section. 

These experiences left me feeling like birth was scary, hard and I didn't know enough to fully put into words the anxieties and worries that kept me up at night. 

By the time I had my second daughter a lot changed. I had learned so much more, felt very prepared and was able to work through the pain that accompanied my other experiences. 

After Hazel's birth, I knew I wanted to work in the birth world. I LOVE working one on one with moms as a doula and am very passionate about education as one of our best tools to improve outcomes and create experiences that are also strong starts to motherhood.
