Please note: EMC² does not diagnose, treat or cure disease. Albert Einstein reputedly said that there are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. The tags 'Miracle' and 'Miraculous' show up where AIM Program participants themselves use those words, but EMC² believes that the AIM Program is all about miracles of transformation and healing whether that word is used or not. As the saying goes, we don't believe in miracles, we rely on them. And each and every personal history revealed through these tags is about the miracle of self-healing with the AIM Program.

Laura describes how her son Travis's anxiety and autism has improved on the AIM Program.
Tags: Anxiety; Autism;

My son Travis has now been on AIM for almost 8 years. He is currently doing well and has adjusted to 4th grade. He had a lot of anxiety about the beginning of school -- the most I've seen him display since starting kindergarten -- which persisted for the first week. Even after knowing what was going to happen, he complained of feeling too nervous/sick to go and wanted to stay home. But by the second week he acclimated and has done fine ever since. He has been doing neurofeedback for the anxiety (which started a few weeks before school) and that seems to be helping.

He is also coping well with the uncertainty around the divorce of myself and my husband. He knows he will go to a new school next year, but not where or when we are moving. We are still living all together and he seems comfortable about what will happen (although I’m sure the reality may be different than what he's imagining!)

He's also started soccer this fall -- with all neurotypical kids -- and seems to be doing fine and actually having fun! He was lucky in that he has 2 friends from his class on his team and that seems to have made it a easy transition. He also just went camping for the first time with myself and the cub scouts for the weekend. That was a bit more traumatic -- both nights he cried and wanted to come home for various reasons -- but overall he ended up having fun and says he wants to go again. I'm very encouraged that he is finally on a trajectory upwards again!

As always, I'm grateful for your help and support. Thank you!
