The hidden roots of giftedness
Autism has been labeled a spectrum by the DSM for a reason
What if our children 'on the spectrum' were built into their authenticity through education, inclusion and exposure?
What do we do?
We believe an excellent, all encompassing education is integral to the future of a child on the spectrum. We spend 30-40% of our time in direct intervention and the rest in research, advocacy and awareness; globally and across communities.

Available scientific evidence suggests that there are probably many factors that make a child more likely to have autism, including environmental and genetic factors.
Available epidemiological data conclude that there is no evidence of a causal association between measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, and autism. Previous studies suggesting a causal link were found to be filled with methodological flaws(2)(3).
There is also no evidence to suggest that any other childhood vaccine may increase the risk of autism.

Why Brain Bristle?
'Brain Bristle' means toothbrushing a 'malleable mind'.
Human intelligence is complex and if not grounded, it can play out in a million directions, finding its right grounding can change the neurochemistry/ neuroplasticity of the mind, is what I believe.

I press into the idea of a child 'being human' over a child being autistic. I approach autism with complete and utter neurotypicality.
