Welcome to Episode 287 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

This episode was recorded during the holiday season — a time when beauty and connection often exist right alongside pressure, exhaustion, and emotional overload.

In this solo reflection, Len invites parents to consider peace not as a feeling or a personality trait, but as a deliberate objective.

He shares why peace is something parents generate internally — not something granted by circumstances or behavior — and why learning to return to calm after disruption is one of the most powerful leadership skills a parent can develop.

This episode is not about doing more.

It’s about choosing a steadier place to operate from.

The secret this week is…

You’ll Discover:

• Why Peace Is A Choice — Not A Circumstance (1:30)
• How To Respond Without Overreacting Or Shutting Down (4:30)
• Why Wants Create Peace — And Expectations Destroy It (6:55)
• How Returning To Stillness Strengthens Your Leadership (8:45)

Welcome to Episode 286 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

This week, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked factors affecting your child’s ability to regulate: the home environment.

Electrical fields, wireless radiation, dirty electricity, and even lighting can create invisible stress that overwhelms the nervous system — especially at night, when the body should be repairing and restoring.

My guest is Brian Hoyer, Founder and CEO of Shielded Healing.

Brian and his team have tested thousands of homes across the U.S., assessing six different types of electromagnetic radiation along with lighting quality and wiring issues.

Their work helps families understand what’s happening in their home and how to reduce stressors that interfere with sleep, behavior, and healing.

Brian’s approach is practical, grounded, and focused on solutions — not fear.

He explains why parents shouldn’t assume their home is “fine,” how cumulative exposure slows progress, and what small changes create meaningful improvements.
