Welcome to Episode 316 of Autism Parenting Secrets. Many children on the spectrum live in a chronic state of stress and dysregulation.  Their nervous systems are constantly responding to environmental stressors, making restorative sleep more difficult and leaving both children and parents depleted. Tammy Arthur believes that one of the simplest ways to support the body is by improving the sleep environment.  She explains the fascinating origin of The Wellness Blanket, the concept behind its design, and why she believes helping the body settle into a more regulated state may improve sleep and overall well-being. Our conversation explores the relationship between nervous system regulation, environmental stress, EMFs, inflammation, and restorative sleep.  Tammy also shares stories from families who have experienced meaningful changes after incorporating The Wellness Blanket into their nightly routine. Whether or not you decide this particular approach is right for your family, this episode reinforces an important principle: sometimes the simplest changes to your child's environment can have the greatest impact.
