I son had issues with his ears.

I'm divine up when I put the tea kettle on.

He was screaming, and yeah, he needed blue lenses because the lights were too bright for him. For years, I stopped taking him places. I wouldn't even take him anywhere. How do you get your kid diagnosed?

Like, how do you figure out what are the next steps?

So then it's like, okay, now you bring your kid to a doctor. How do you do that? So just because you've read it on the internet, it doesn't mean it exists. Right?

So it's finding a neurologist. And now you get them tested for it. They don't tell you how expensive this stuff is. They don't tell you that the insurance doesn't cover any of this stuff. So a lot of it is paying out of pocket

to figure out what's going on with your kid. So I built my business and my brand based on me figuring out what happened to my kid and what's going on with him because no one tells you this stuff. Matilda Tart is a pioneering, resilient, and purpose-driven author,

cognitive specialist, and the founder of Blue Butterfly Writing LLC. Drawing from her military background and personal journey with autism, she creates specialized tools and literature to empower the neurodiverse community,

building a foundation of true inclusion, advocacy, and lasting empowerment. What I'm most excited for is to help the special needs community and help them understand how can you help your kid, right? How can you help them do better?

And let them know that there's a community out there who's here to support them and my ecosystem is here so that way they don't have to do any of the hard work to discover where can I find resources for my kid? Yeah.

I did all the hard work for them. [MUSIC PLAYING] It spans the globe. Like a super-highest coal into their elders. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's our home, our town, our fear. The living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. It's extremely dangerous as I know it.

Oh, that is sensational. [MUSIC PLAYING] Open, check up on what's the link you say. All in the boxes, now on the planet. You can live your dreams.

Hi, and welcome back to another episode of Living Your Legacy Podcast. I'll be your host today, Jay Slangen, in the beautiful world cup ready Miami Beach. Now, there's some craziness down at Ocean Drive.

I was just there. They're all getting ready. The game's on. But we have a special guest here today that-- it's going to be a really important message

for a lot of parents out there dealing with kids on the spectrum, right? It's got a lot of cool products for us to check out. And yeah, so let us know your name, where you from, and yeah, what you got going?

Hi, I'm Tilda Tart. Occupational Tools Specialist, I own Blue Butterfly Riding LLC, and also Blue Butterfly Publications. I'm based out at Alan Texas. OK, Blue Butterflies.

So I see you're all dressed in blue. Is that your brand color? That was all of purpose. Yes, yes.

So what's the significance about the Blue Butterfly?

The significance behind Blue Butterfly is growing up as a kid. I love Blue Butterflies, all right? And so when I was looking for the name of my company, I'm a techie, right?

So I have over 28 years of IT experience. Oh wow. And so when I was looking for names, there were all techie names. And all the names I kept looking for were all techian.

And so I was like, well, what's going on here? I can't find a unique name that doesn't exist out there that someone doesn't have. Well, when you're thinking about technical names, they're all techian.

So let me take a step back. And let me think of something that's so unique and so personal to me that maybe just doesn't exist. And so I just took a look back at my childhood and just thought about the things that I love as a kid.

And so I loved Blue Butterflies as a kid. So let me just go with Blue Butterfly and just add writing at the back of the end of it 'cause I'm writing books, right? And so I add that on there and I was like,

it doesn't exist up like, Boo, let's go with it. Yeah.

- Honestly growing up, I believe Monarch,

like Orange and Bright Color Butterflies. And personally, I don't think I've seen a Blue Butterfly unless she got a Texas thing. You grew up in Texas? - I grew up in Louisiana, but they're not.

- And so Blue Butterflies are actually pretty rare. - Yeah. - So I would sit there and wait for the Blue Butterfly so come out. - Yeah.

- And so I just love butterflies,

'cause they were always out in Louisiana 'cause you know,

it never really came out. - I couldn't even go and hate Butterflies. - Yeah. - The person that's like, oh, I can't stand up. It's like, yeah, like I hate a butterfly.

You're like, okay, then they're not the person to hate out with. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause they don't like Butterflies is like, what do you do then? What do you like?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I can't be around you if you don't like Butterflies. - I know, I know. So I like Butterflies, love your brand name. - Thank you.

- And yeah, so you have a son who I heard on the spectrum. - Yes. - So tell us a little bit about that. - So my son, when he was growing up,

he was just a little bit unique, right? So I have a 25-year-old and I have a 12-year-old. - Okay. - And so around the age of three,

I sort of didn't always say he was a little bit different, right?

He would hide all the time.

So I was thought he was playing hide and go seek.

I was like man, he plays hide and go seek like all the time.

And he would smile all the time. So I was thought he was happy. And come to find out he was unhappy all the time. He was smile when he was sad, when he was happy, when he was scared, when he was just doing things

that were malicious. And that was just unique and different. But it's having a 25-year-old. She didn't have those same behaviors, right? And so I just knew that something was just different

and unique with him. So I kept bringing him to doctors and they just kept saying like, oh, he's okay. He's just having behavioral issues. So having a 25-year-old like, no, just like good instinct

as a parent, you just know that something's off, right? So he had a lot of sensory issues with like light and sound.

He would run all the time.

He would run in a traffic. He kept getting kicked out of daycare. So I was like, that's not normal. He got kicked out over 15 daycares at the age of three. That's not normal.

Yeah, it's not funny. Yeah, it's not because when you're working full of time and you're working over 50 hours a week and I'm working in IT and I'm working in a skip, right? So it's classified environments.

So you don't find out that you're kick out kicked out of daycare to five o'clock. So then you're kids sitting in the office all day long, right? And then they can't go to daycare tomorrow. So now you have to take a vacation day.

So I knew that something was just off of him. So then I started to get him tested. But more or less it was like a daycare provider who was like,

hey, look, you should check to see if your kid has autism.

Like, look into this and see if they're on the spectrum and me and my ex-husband were like, hmm. We'll look into this and see if this is our kid. And we read the article and it was our kid, right? And we were like classic our son and we just couldn't believe it.

So mine mind opening has just like, oh my God. We have an answer, right? But then not that you have an answer, what do you do with it, right? So now, how do you get your kid diagnosed? Like, how do you figure out what are the next steps?

So then it's like, okay, now you bring your kid to a doctor. How do you do that? So just because you read it on the internet doesn't mean it exists, right? So it's finding a neurologist and now you get them tested for it. They don't tell you how expensive this stuff is.

Yeah. They don't tell you that the insurance doesn't cover any of this stuff, man. So a lot of it is paying out a pocket to figure out what's going on with your kid, getting them tested by sociologists, right? So then it's all of these things that you have to do to figure out what's going on

with your kid. So I built my business and my brand based on me figuring out what happened to my kid and what's going on with him because no one tells you this stuff. There's no books on it. I actually created the first books based on your kid being on the spectrum because nothing

exists out there, right? Because there's no guide on how do you figure out what's going on with your kid? How do you figure out that they have sensory issues? And there's so many parents that have this question also. And it's almost like everyone's concern when they're having a kid, you know, it just

comes up, right? Yeah.

So let me rewind back and you said that your kid's always smiling, even during

you know, non-smiling kind of emotional situations. So is that almost like, you know, some people kind of laugh when they're nervous? Which isn't, you know, kind of like the go-to reaction really when you're nervous, but it just kind of comes out, right? Yes.

I don't know, like, if it's just awkward for you. Yes.

So one of the things I discovered with my son, you have to remember your kid's mimic you, right?

When your kid's a born, they only do what they see their parents do. So as a child, my son would laugh because he would always see his parents laughing and smiling. That was the reaction that he knew. I had to teach my son the seven facial expressions because he didn't know what they expressions were.

And so kids on the spectrum, they don't know. And so for a lot of kids who are going through these emotions, they don't know what the different emotions are and a lot of the parents don't know. So a lot of times they mask their emotions and they smile and they laugh because that's the only thing they know.

If you go back and you watch the Joker, right, the Joker used to laugh and smile all the time. Right. Is because he had as burgers too. He didn't understand what was going on with him.

He didn't realize he was really on the spectrum and he had special needs. He just knew that he had emotions that he couldn't control, right? He was on medication. Once he got off the medication, then he started to kill people because he heard voices in his head.

That's what happens with people who are on the spectrum who are of special needs. When they stop taking their medications and when their body is erratic and they're out of control, right, they don't know how to control their emotions. And that's the purpose of my books, right? Is to help parents learn and understand and help them figure out what their kids in an

early age. This is how we can mitigate this. This is how we can help our kids early on. Yeah. Understand that there's a problem.

Instead of waiting until they're adults to figure this out. Yeah. A lot of times, parents don't figure out that the kids are on the spectrum, meaning autism one. Right.

Autism two is easier to detect. This is a one like my son has.

He has ass burgers.

It's hard to detect.

They usually don't detect it until they age 13 to 15, right?

And it's because they're usually considered a behavior problem.

They're the ones who act up all the time, the ones who are screaming in the store, the ones hiding in the grocery store, the ones crawling underneath the table and the, you know, the restaurants. They're the ones who just screaming yell for no reason. When you put the vacuum on, they're screaming, they're yelling.

Come to find out. Sensory issues, my son had issues with this ears. I'm divine up when I put the tea kettle on. He was screaming and yell, sensory issues with this ears, department stores, target, Victoria secret, scream and yell, I issues.

He needed blue lenses because the lights were too bright for him. Okay. So he uses blue lenses, ears, sensory issues.

I put on noise cancellation headphones for him that way, it muffles 95% of the sound.

Yeah. In the society for years, I stopped taking him places. I wouldn't even take him anywhere. I would go grocery shopping without him or at order on Amazon Prime or have food delivered to my house because I could not take my son out in public.

Yeah.

Because it was what it would have learned journey of just so much that you have to just

be aware of. And then I'm sure that, you know, getting, getting the, from the doctor is right. Okay. Look up Asperger's and then you read that article, right? And you're like, oh my god.

And they just start to open up. And now you're, you know, kind of looking at what's bothering him, I'm, I'm sure it's just so like, I opening, but also just very like, it's, uh, gives you a sense of calmness that you now know what to be aware of, like, because you're, you're explaining things that are like, oh, he was probably getting kicked out because he's yelling and screaming

because the nursery's so loud. You know, and just kind of like, things in the past will have a little, I have new meaning, you know, and just open up and you're just like, oh, let's look back at all these things and see if it's, you know, the reason. Yeah.

But what happens to is with that article, it only gives you a small subset of what's going on with your kid. Okay. Yeah. What you don't realize is with kids that are on the spectrum, they usually have multiple

other disorders as well. See what I found out was that, okay, he has Asperger's. But there's also more to Asperger's than just him having it, right? He has Asperger's plus he has sensory issues, right? So the sensory issues come into the ears and the nose and the throat.

And then on top of that, he had ADHD. He has dyslexia. He also has ADHD as well. Those things are not covered on the Asperger's. Those are all different diagnoses that are neurological conditions that my son has been

diagnosed with that aren't part of the ADHD, I mean, that aren't part of the Asperger's syndrome. Yeah. Those are different diagnoses. And so parents who have kids on the spectrum have to realize that it's not just one

overall overarching thing.

That's why I say my son is part of the spectrum because it's more than just one spectrum

he falls under. Yeah. He falls under autism one, which is Asperger's, then he falls in the ADHD, which is part of being under the spectrum, which is part of the old mental retardation, right? Then he has ADHD, he has general mood disorder, generally anxiety disorder.

He has sensory issues, so are the, are the communities of, I'm sure there's a lot of communities out there of parents, right? Are they almost more helpful than the doctors because they can talk about what's going on? I would say there's not a whole lot of communities out there, what I'm doing is I'm trying to build that, like I don't really see a whole lot of that, what I'm trying to do is I'm

the first in my needs to help try to bridge that gap of what's not out there.

And what I decided to do with my platform is because I'm the first in my need is I'm helping to build that community and help to make that a lie so that my parents can know, hey, there's a community of us out there, why don't we build it and why don't we create it? And why don't we stick together and say, we're here, we're together, why don't we form this to be able to say why don't we support each other?

Because I'm sure it's so important to have a support, you know, a support crew or a community, well, I'm sure that there's so many people that are joining this and so happy that you're taking, you know, the initiative to do all this for your son, for the community for other parents, right? So, yeah, well, besides kind of started the community, right? I heard that you've made a few toys, right, and some some products. Tell us more about that.

So I created a cognitive tool line. They're not considered toys. Yeah, okay. For the masses, you know, they would look at them as toys, but I coined the term, the term, cognitive tools because if you call them toys and not allowed in the classroom, right, because we want them to be viable for an IEP compliant. So if you call them a toy,

They're not allowed in daycare and they're not allowed in a school system.

a tool, which is what I coined them, it's a cognitive tool. They're a behavioral tool. They

can utilize them in the classroom and in daycare. It helps the child to calm down. It helps

them with their anxiety. It helps them to de-stress. It helps them so that way they can function as a society as well. So using the term, cognitive tool, it helps them to function, calm down, and de-stress. It's kind of like normal dogs aren't led into the businesses, but service dogs are led at the time. Exactly. Exactly. So it's the same thing. You just have to, it's a coin on terminology, right? So if you use the right terminology, then you are able to utilize that.

So basically, like, with the pins that I have on my line, and with the pins that I have on my line,

they're IEP and 504 compliant. So they can use them on standardized tests versus some other pins, and other pins, you can't use them on standardized tests. So it's all about what they are and what they stand for, right? So it's all about verb, it's just like with my cognitive tool line. I just wrote an article that's coming out where you can actually take my cognitive tools, and you can get reimbursed for it on with Medicaid part B. And if you're a disabled veteran,

you can get reimbursed through the VA as well. I put the codes for that in my article that's coming out. So you can go to the VA, you can get reimbursed for that, and with Medicaid part B, you can use a very specific code for utilizing cognitive tools, and be able to be reimbursed for it. So you can buy it for my website, go back to Medicaid, and to the VA, and get reimbursed for it.

Lovely. So basically, you can buy it for free. Perfect. Perfect. Exactly.

I mean, your son's here today, and he's been so well-behaved, and he's looking fly, right? Thank you. My, my, my keeping him looking good. And, but when you bring him here today,

and you have to leave him alone in the room, right? And he's so well-behaved,

are what are the things he's got that keeps him kind of cool, calm, collected? So for my son today to keep him cool is first off, he takes a lot of medication. All right. So in order for him to be here and to become, he's on seven different medications that he takes every single day to keep him calm. One of them that he's on that he doesn't know that

he's on is medical grade CDD. So he's on pure 101 ratio. He doesn't know that. He just so that he

takes vials. And so a lot of parents are really concerned about putting their kids on medications. He's on several class three to class five medications. All of them are class three to class five, is what he's on. And so he takes them every single day. Now he started off at the age of three on different medications and he's on multiple different types. But it helps him to function in society. And as a mother, I really didn't want him to be on medication. And so when you sit there

and you struggle with your child and you try to get them to function in society, and they have a hard time just trying to function in a life. And they struggle just to just to survive daily. They can't function in class. They can't sit still. They can't play with other things. You know, other kids, they terrorize classrooms. They hurt themselves. They hurt other people. As a parent, you got to take

us that back and you have to say, what can I do as a parent to help my child be sane,

right? And just be. And be because at that point, it's no longer about you. Yeah. It's about them. And my son's neurologist had told me six months prior to me putting him on medication. He said, look, you're a good mom. And he's like, you have to do what it takes for your son to function. He's like, you know, you've gone through a divorce and your son's tried to cope with things. And he's like, you have to understand that your son now has the function in society.

He's hurting himself and others. You have to do something immediately. So your son can function. So you can go to work. One of two things is going to happen. You're going to lose your job because you keep taking time off of work because you keep taking vacation because he keeps getting kicked out of dick here. Or he's going to hurt himself and you're not going to have a son anymore. Yeah. And so I had to take a step back. And he's like, it does a hurt him or you

for you to put him on medication. There are tons of kids out there. So he gave me pamphlets to read. He gave me different medication options for me to put my son on. And I took a lot of time to think about it, to pray on it. Before I put him on meds because I was like, I was going to try everything I could before I put him on medication. I did lots of holistic things. I changed his diet. I removed red diet of his diet. I changed everything that he ate.

I put him on everything holistic. A lot of it helped. Didn't help enough.

Eventually I had to put him on meds.

I didn't want to medicate my child. But I had to. And when I did, I saw I changed in him.

And I saw a light in my son that I had never seen before. And it was like, he was a different kid.

Like, I saw him the same way I saw my daughter in a sense that he was almost called normal, right where he can actually like function. And he could like think where his brain wasn't. Yeah, right where it was like he can actually articulate his words without him, stuttering or being upset or without hitting his head on the wall or without hurting other people. And so I realized that it's okay for him to take medication. It's okay for him to have it.

And that it doesn't make me a bad parent to give my son medication to help him function as society is just an aid to help him do better. So all those parents that are out there who are wondering, do I put my kid on medication? Is it going to hurt them? Is it going to affect them in the future? All medications come with side effects. Did you did you layer them? Like try one of my one to see or you just, you know, get took what the doctor prescribed him. What I did was

I read through what the doctor recommended and picked what I thought was best for him. Yeah.

And then over time as he grows, right, as your child grows, you have to change the medications

because they may not work as well. Yeah. And so over time, you need different medications. That's very similar to my dad and Parkinson's disease. And it was the same way. You know, after a certain amount of time, some of them may not have the same effect as they used to. And so like I said, now he's on seven. So he needs medication in a morning when he wakes up.

And he needs medication to go to sleep because my son's brain never shuts off. So he did a

brain wave test when he was about four years old. And so what the study shows is that my son with ass burgers, his brain never goes to sleep. My son never goes into REM sleep. Never. And so he needs medication to actually put him to sleep. And even when he takes the medication, he never goes into REM sleep. And so in case you guys don't know what REM sleep is, REM sleep is when you actually go into deep sleep and you actually fall asleep and you actually dream.

I said never goes into REM sleep. And so anyone who has a kid who's on the spectrum, I'd recommend that you do that exam for your kid because then you learn a lot about your child. And you learn about their sleep cycle. So my son, every three to four days, he doesn't actually go to sleep. So every three to four days, my son stays up 24 hours. Whoa. Wow. It teaches you about your child. Yeah. And what the neurologist taught me was,

when he doesn't sleep those every three days, just allow him to be up in his room. And then he can watch gaming during that time. Just so he's resting. And then when his body's tired, then he'll go to sleep. And then that four day he'll catch up and he'll go to sleep. But he needs the medication so his body can rest. And so what I had to realize as a mom is to take us that back because I was like, you have to go to sleep. And I was just like angry with him.

And it's like, you have to go to sleep. And then I realized that I have to take it down an

notch and be at his level. And that's what the sleep study came in to teach me that his brain never

sleeps. And I have to constantly remember that he never goes into rimsleep. So every three or

four days, he will not go to sleep. And so I just notice I keep a camera in his room. And I just watch he doesn't go to sleep. So I'll just tell him, okay, just rest. You know, you just need a lay down. You may not go to sleep, but you'll just rest for these hours. You're just going to lay down. You can watch gaming. You could do something because before he would just roam all over the house. Yeah. You can't roam all over the house because it's dangerous. He's taking medication. He could

hurt himself. You know, because then he's sleepwalks. So just have to, you know, keep that into consideration when you have kids who are on class three narcotics. You know, even though he's not sleeping, his bodies in that kind of zombie-like state until he wakes up from the medication. Because what that medication does is it puts you in a zombie-like state for like three, you know, three to like six to eight hours. So even though he's not sleeping, he's kind of like in a zombie mode.

So whatever he's doing at that point in time, he doesn't remember. You seem so knowledgeable.

And it's always like, I'm like, thank you for for doing this. You know, I'm yet a parent, but I'm, you know, thinking of it, right? And yeah, it's just great to know that you're doing this. Because yeah, a lot of parents out there before they have the kid after the kid, when they maybe start inspecting things. But anyways, let's see some of these cognitive tools that you got here for also. So one of the things that I got on my line, which my son absolutely loves,

Right, is fishing.

believe it or not, fishing is a cognitive tool. So I actually got it in pink and I have it in blue.

It's a great, great bag. We got like a camouflage pink fishing pole bag. I have it in pink. And I have it in blue. Yes. So fishing is relaxation. And it is part of my cognitive tool line. And you can get reimbursed for it. So fishing causes you to relax. So this is a 63 inch blue to not fishing rod. It comes in cool. And it comes in blue and it's camouflage. So it comes all the way out. So it's a whole fishing rod set. So it has everything that goes with it. So it's got

all of your pieces to go fishing now. I'm not familiar with all the pieces. But it has the whole set

in here. So it has everything that you need to go fishing. So it's not your real, your rod, your

was the stuff called the fishing line. Fish in line. It comes with everything. It comes with this just keeps him calm during the day just to know that he's got it. Exactly. He's not necessarily busing out in class, the fishing ball, but knowing that he's got it keeps him like, okay. Yes. So the great part about this is this is great for relaxation on the weekend. And then it looks

amazing, by the way, that the fishing pole has like pieces that match the bag. Yes. And yeah,

it's nice. So it matches. So the pink camouflage matches the pink and then the blue matches the blue. So it's all decked out and it has all the pieces that go with it. And so with the cognitive two line, not only does it come with the matching bag for it to store, but I also have a sitting bag that go with it as well. So you actually have a sitting chair that you can buy with it. So I have a whole set that comes with this. So you can get a sitting chair and then there's a

wrap around bag that you can buy for the kid as well that goes with this. Yeah. And then

because the kid wants their own bag, right? They don't want to put their stuff with yours. So you can put them a sandwich in there. It's actually a six can bag. So you can put their fruits and vegetables in it because you're on the spectrum. You don't want them to have like a bunch of soda and stuff. So I give my kids sugar free drinks. I think we should all be giving our kids sugar free drinks. Yeah. So and he doesn't know the difference, right? So I just buy a forum. He loves

it. He doesn't know that it's sugar free. So you just give him sugar free drinks or, you know, the little apple juices. You market to them that hey, this is the good stuff. They don't know the difference. Or what I do is I give him water and then I buy the will to sugar free packets. Yeah. You know, a little cool late ones from the Dollar Tree. Yeah. And just put it in his water. He just thinks that he's drinking koot late. And it's sugar free. And so you just give it to them.

And then he's like, hey, I'm, you know, drinking sugar. Like they on the difference is sugar free. So they'll have that. So this is one of my books. So this is the poor little sunshine. This is how my feeling journal. So with the how am I feeling journal, this one actually goes through the facial

expressions. So remember we talked about, I think we talked about this. My son didn't understand facial

expressions, right? So with this, this actually shows the facial expressions of how am I feeling. So I just show my son the facial expressions. And so this has how is he feeling? And so it has the six special responses how easy doing. And then he's the middle kid over here, which is joy. And so the kid gets to write how they're feeling. And then they get to draw how they're feeling over here with a botanical garden. So one thing I discovered is with my son.

After going through seven years of play therapy with him, one of the things they did was they would have me come in for one parent session once a month. And they would have him draw his emotion. And with that emotion, it would have me go over that emotion with him for the month. And so what I did was I took seven years of play therapy, put it in this book. And the two and a half years that I taught him facial expressions, put it in this book for parents, so that way they

could have it for their kids. And in the community, other parents, they have that same issue of needing to teach their kids about the facial expressions. Yes. Wow. Okay. Yes. And so that's one of the things like this. It's a very cute book by the way, everyone. Yeah, very, very cute. And then you just go in here and you write your facial like draw, your facial expressions every day. And yeah,

great. This is fantastic. Awesome. I did all this. Let's check out one more. Okay, um, this is my first

book. So I love the first book because this one actually explains to parents how they can figure out what's going over their kid from beginning to end. Um, this is my very first book. And so this one actually, um, tells you from a kids perspective, this is what's going on with them. And then it has the parents perspective on the left hand side of what they think the possible diagnosis is and then the type of specialist to go see. And then they can write the notes of what's going on

with the kid. I don't know. And so it kind of goes through that throughout the book. Yeah. And what I love is, um, this actually lets you know from beginning to end different diagnoses for your kid. So even

If your kid is not on the spectrum, you can go through this book and find dif...

you may have gone on with your kid and it's an easy read as well. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. All right,

let me check this out. No, it's also very, very cute. Uh, yeah. I mean, there's just so much information, uh, and thank you for helping more information available to everyone. Um,

everything's looking great, really bright, really colorful, also really cute characters. Um,

and I can see how this could be popular and very helpful. Really quickly, I like to ask everyone, what do you, what do you most excited for? What I'm most excited for is to help the special

needs community and help them understand how can you help your kid, right? How can you help them do better?

And let them know that there's a community out there who's here to support them and my ecosystem is here so that way they don't have to do any of the hard work to discover. Where can I find resources for my kid? Yeah. I did all the hard work for them. There's one such a location that they can go to. They can go to my Shopify website. They can go to blue butterflywriting. My Shopify.com and they can find all the resources in one central location. Okay. Blue butterfly. I'm sure, and, and you have

your Shopify page, right? So yeah, I mean, this is really actually important, not just for parents

that have a child on this spectrum, but for all parents, really. I mean, just to understand what others are going through, you know, to to help build the community and like I said, just for everyone to understand. Yeah. So yeah, I can't wait to get into her episode and a lot of good information in
