Episode 326-Beyond Words: Autism's Intuitive Connection with Catherine Crestani

Send us a text What if your child"s seemingly unusual behaviors are actually their way of connecting with a world most of us can"t see?  Catherine Crestani, leadership coach and intuitive healer with nearly two decades of experience as a speech-language pathologist, shares profound insights about the spiritual dimensions of autism that mainstream approaches often miss. Drawing from her extensive work with hundreds of children on the spectrum, Catherine reveals how many nonverbal children possess remarkable intuitive abilities – sensing energies, communicating with spirits, and processing the world in ways that defy conventional understanding. This conversation takes a deep dive into the power of parental intuition when raising a child with special needs. Sara and Catherine discuss the critical importance of trusting your gut feelings about schools, therapies, and medical advice, even when professionals dismiss your concerns. Through personal stories, including Catherine"s experiences with "guardian angels" guiding her nonverbal clients and Sara"s discovery that her son"s sleep patterns follow lunar cycles, they demonstrate how honoring your child"s unique rhythms can lead to profound healing. Perhaps most powerfully, Catherine shares her perspective on healing generational patterns through self-work. "When you heal something in you, it heals seven generations after and seven generations before," she explains, highlighting how addressing our own wounds creates space for our children to thrive. This shift from trying to "fix" the child to healing the family system offers a revolutionary approach to autism support. Whether you"re parenting a child with autism or supporting families on this journey, this episode will transform how you understand neurodivergence and intuitive connection. Listen now to discover how breaking free from societal expectations and embracing your family"s unique path can create unexpected harmony and joy. Support the show
