Hey friend, welcome to Stronger Than Autoimmune.

This week I’m joined by Theresa Lyons — Yale University trained scientist, medical strategist, autism mom, and fierce advocate for parents who refuse to be dismissed.

Theresa shares the raw moment every parent dreads: knowing deep in your gut that something isn’t right with your child, only to be told “everything is fine.” She ignored her intuition once — and she’s still mad about it. That fire turned into fuel. She dove into the research, built a top-tier care team with functional medicine at the center, and now her daughter is thriving and their family is finally living the joyful life they dreamed of.

In this powerful conversation, Theresa reveals:

• Why “normal” test results don’t always mean nothing is wrong
• How to move beyond the limitations of ABA and find natural, joyful ways to connect and teach your child
• The cutting-edge science every autism parent needs to know
• How to trust yourself as the expert on your own child — even when doctors, teachers, and therapists say otherwise

Whether you’re navigating an autism diagnosis or fighting for answers no one seems to hear, this episode is your reminder: You know your child best. You are not failing. You are the advocate your child needs.

If you’re a parent who’s tired of being told to “just accept it,” press play. Theresa’s message is hope with a backbone — and exactly what so many families need to hear.

🎙️ Theresa Lyons, MS, MS, PhD is the founder of Lyons Behavioral Services and helps parents in over 18 countries combine real science with intuition to help their autistic children thrive.
