When RFK Jr. says autism “destroys families,” he’s not speaking for mine.
I’m the proud mom of an autistic child—and let me tell you, autism doesn’t destroy families. It transforms them. It teaches us patience, compassion, resilience, and love on a level most people never experience.
My child is not broken. He doesn’t need fixing. His autism is part of who he is—it’s not something to be feared or pitied. It’s a gift.
Yes, more research into autism is important. But that research should be led by professionals with actual medical and neurological expertise—not politicians pushing fear-based narratives.
Autistic voices—and the voices of those who love them—deserve to be heard and respected.
We don’t need saving. We need understanding and support.

Ditch the toxins, not the freshness.
Store-bought dry shampoos might be convenient, but they’re often loaded with harsh chemicals and a hefty price tag. In fact, an independent lab found benzene—a known carcinogen—in 70% of dry shampoos tested. Yikes.
But here’s the good news:
You can make your own dry shampoo that’s budget-friendly, non-toxic, and actually good for you (and the planet).
DIY Dry Shampoo Recipe
For blonde/light hair:
¼ cup arrowroot powder
2 drops orange essential oil
2 drops rosemary essential oil
For darker hair:
Add 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder
You’ll need:
A glass container with lid
A fluffy makeup brush
How to use:
Blend ingredients in a food processor, store in a sealed jar, and use your brush to apply to roots. Blend with fingers or a quick blast from your blow dryer. That’s it!
Clean, fresh hair—without the junk.
