🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE: "Autism Is a Movement Disorder: The Gravity of What We’ve Missed" 🎙️

🚨 In this eye-opening episode of Rock the World with Kay and Michelle, we challenge one of the biggest assumptions in neurodivergent care: what if autism isn’t just behavioral or cognitive—but a movement disorder rooted in the body’s relationship to gravity?

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ A New Framework: Why autism may stem from breakdowns in breath, rotation, vision, and gravity-based organization.
✅ Beyond Behavior: How toe-walking, meltdowns, lack of eye contact, and shutdowns are signs of movement dysfunction—not misbehavior.
✅ Foundations First: Why babies grabbing their feet or rotating into sitting aren’t just cute milestones—they’re crucial for long-term development.
✅ Real Stories, Real Hope: Hear how restoring movement helped a non-verbal child start communicating and sleeping through the night.
✅ Vision is Everything: How cortical visual impairment mimics autism—and why every child should get a proper vision evaluation.
✅ Introducing AI for Autism: Michelle’s revolutionary video AI system analyzes movement to detect early signs of autism with clarity and compassion.

Real Voices. Real Stories.
Join Michelle Turner, founder of Movement Lesson™, and Kayla Ireland, host of Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay, as they blend science and lived experience to flip the script on autism and movement.

Why This Episode is Important:
We’re not just managing diagnoses—we’re unlocking potential. By recognizing the body’s role in cognition, behavior, and connection, we empower families, educators, and professionals to begin again—with hope, with function, and with truth.
