Don’t let autism hold you back!

It’s true that ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) has become more common—and while each experience is unique, the right tools and interventions can bring hope and transformation, improving both well-being and overall development. In this episode, The Holistic Kids welcome Matthew Hirning to share his personal journey of overcoming autism, showing how, with the right support, progress is not only possible but achievable.

Matthew Hirning was diagnosed with nonverbal autism at the age of 4 and remained nonverbal for several years. After undergoing comprehensive biomedical intervention—including a deep focus on healing the gut-brain connection—Matthew has made remarkable progress and is now considered to have recovered from autism. His journey is a powerful story of resilience, growth, and inspiration—one he hopes to share with others.
