What BJJ did for my mind and body πŸ₯‹πŸ§ 

I went from nerves in the car to calm on the mats. Training at Collective Grappling Co in Buderim has lifted my confidence, fitness and focus. I sleep better. I handle stress better. I move better.

BJJ culture matters. The right club feels welcoming and safe while still pushing you to grow.

It also clicks for autistic and neurodivergent minds. Clear structure. Predictable routines. Technique over small talk. Useful sensory input from movement and pressure.

I wrote a full blog post about the journey, the hard bits and the wins. Have a read and tell me what part lands for you

Meet Feli 🌟

We adore her. Her clients do too. Feli jumped on camera to share a few things she loves about being a Support Worker with us. The connection. The small wins. The moments where a child tries something new and lights up.

This is what support looks like when it is personal and consistent.

Stay tuned. More from Feli is coming soon.

If you have a question for Feli, drop it in the comments and we will add it to another video from her πŸ’¬

Runny but Yummy jam is here πŸŽ„πŸ―

I'm proud of young Henry. He has been making his Runny but Yummy jam and it tastes amazing. Lemon lime and marmalade are both ready for Christmas gifts.

This is more than jam. It is a young neurodivergent entrepreneur building skills, confidence and pride. Every jar also supports the RSPCA 🐾.

If you're on the Sunshine Coast you can order through us and pick up in Maroochydore. Email us to lock in your jars, gift a few to friends and taste the sunshine 🌞 info@autismandbeyond.com.au

A Mother’s Bold Choice: Autism, Stem Cells & Hope

In this powerful episode of Beyond the Spectrum – Conversations with Parents on Autism and Beyond, we sit down with Claire King, a boat captain in Oman and a devoted mum to Leo, who has autism and a rare genetic condition.

Claire’s journey has been anything but conventional. With limited support options in Oman, she explored alternative therapies and ultimately pursued stem cell treatment for Leo. What happened next was remarkable - small but life-changing improvements that gave her renewed hope.

Claire opens up about:

βœ… Her struggle to find support and therapies in a foreign country
βœ… How she discovered stem cell treatment for autism
βœ… The incredible changes she witnessed in Leo
βœ… The challenges of parenting and advocating for a child in an unfamiliar system

This episode is a must-listen for any parent searching for hope, options, and a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey.

πŸ’¬ Have you explored alternative therapies for autism? Let us know in the comments!

Did you know? ❓

πŸ₯•πŸ πŸ₯” πŸ₯¦ Cooking fruit and veggies can make them much easier to digest - especially for autistic kids and those with gut issues!

Many children with ASD struggle with poor digestion, making raw fruits and vegetables harder to tolerate. It’s a myth that raw is always better! Gently cooking them at a low temp helps release nutrients while making them easier to digest.

This is a game-changer for foods for autistic children, especially those with autism sensory food challenges. Soft, warm foods can be more appealing than crunchy or fibrous textures while still providing essential nutrients.

One of my favourite kids healthy snacks and gut-friendly meal ideas is stewed fruit with raw honey and pure coconut milk drizzled on top. πŸ“πŸŽ I love using Woolies and Coles organic frozen berries with apples - so simple, so delicious! πŸ˜‹

πŸŽ’ School Holidays with ASD Kids? Here's How to Keep it Calm + Fun 🧩

School break = routine changes, higher energy, sensory overload – and if you’re home more too, it can be a lot.

But holidays don’t have to mean meltdowns or screen overload.

Here are our fave low-cost, low-effort activity ideas that actually help ASD kids:

🌿 Nature walk bingo
🌊 Feet-in-the-sand fishing or rockpooling
🍧 Make jelly or gummies together
🏠 Build a sensory-friendly fort
🚴 Bike rides with a snack stop
🎨 Chalk or indoor scavenger hunt
πŸ‘£ Obstacle courses for movement + regulation

You don’t need a packed schedule – just simple moments that regulate the nervous system, spark joy, and build connection πŸ’›

✨ Sunshine Coast families – we’re here if you want support work, outdoor sessions or fishing classes during the break!
