BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS turn autism around podcast. | Recovery strategies for ambitious, health-conscious, Christian moms who want to go from tantrums and eloping to peace and independence.
Are you disappointed, because your effort to turn autism and ADHD symptoms around naturally isn't brining in the results, you were hoping for? Despite your faith in God and the massive amount of energy, time and money, you've put into autism diets, tests, protocols, practitioners or therapies? Want to learn how to go from walking on eggshells - trying to prevent meltdowns, eloping, aggression, picky eating, stimming to less sympoms, more bonding, normality, sleep and independence (for both you and your child)? If you're longing for tantrum-free trips to church and shops, being able to visit friends, sleep through the night and see your child connect with other people - welcome - this is your place. I'm Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson. My son lost all the symptoms that gave him an autism diagnosis and is now a fully independent adult with a full time job, a completely normal life, drivers licence and healthy interests. I'm an ex-New Age, Christian coach to autism moms, founder of and an expert with 19 years experience. I've helped hundreds of moms worldwide become experts in turning symptoms around for their child through my faith-based, Autism Turnaround Program. I help autism moms become experts in reading and addressing their child's symptoms instead of chasing experts and answers. This not another podcast to put you on the hamster wheel of extreme autism diets, ABA or OT therapy, detoxes, homeopathy, tests, juicing, supplements or detoxes. The barefoot Autism Warriors turn autism around podcast is for crunchy, holistic and ambitious moms who want a simple strategy and get their life, marriage, freedom and child back. We turn moms into experts by lived experience, putting peace and Jesus at the center and healing yourself first. Visit www.barefootautismwarriors.com to work with Ninka 🎙️
Episodes
You know autism is treatable. You've seen other moms talk about life AFTER tantrums, stimming, eloping and sleeplessness.
You want that for yourself:
Sleeping through the night.
Visit friends without fearing a tantrum or being the stress-provider wherever the freak you go.
Read a book. Alone.
If anyone deserves this - it's you. No one works harder than you to save your child. In fact - you're beginni...
Couldn’t Speak…Now My Protector
Yesterday, I saw the full circle. I saw what 18 years of fire, tears, fear, burnout, over-performance, and spiritual warfare were for.
I woke up in peace.
My son—the one who once eloped, jumped in front of trains, screamed through life, couldn’t speak without echoing like a parrot, couldn’t tolerate showers or car rides—brought me tea in bed.
I was reading the Bible.
Just sitting there. In peace. A mothe...
I'm opening the doors to my world today on the podcast - and you're invited to come into the secret world of my Autism Turnaround Program (Day One only). It's a sneak peek situation.
A little explanation:
I've compiled 5 short training lessons into one session for the podcast today. You're also only seeing a bit of the content from day one in the foundation course inside the Turnaround Program.
I'm not ...
The autism epidemic and RFK = distraction. Even for those who believe in turning autism around.
You have to choose.
Do you want to help your child get more independence and less symptoms OR follow RFK, all the autism moms and influencers who are hurt and protesting right now?
You can't have both. It's either turning symptoms around or feeling angry, protesting and warning moms about the "autism epidemic".
Ironic? ...
Disordered eating = battling with food, restricting food, fearing food.
I've been there - and it has been exhausting.
The problem is that most biohacking, recovery-focused and fit influencers are suffering from this hidden issue WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT.
It looks healthy. It is promoted as healthy. It makes you look healthy for a while. Long term though? It's destructive and ruins not only your health and soul. It affects th...
3 things changed his autism symptoms & my disordered eating
What's taken me 19 years to learn, I'll teach you in 28 minutes.
How free would you feel if you could eat chocolate, cake and candy without gaining weight, craving more and more of it and yo-yo between restricting and over-eating?
How free would you feel if your days weren't consumed by fear because your child's tantrums, screaming, eloping and rigidit...
You wouldn't believe me if I hadn't had these before and after videos, photos, voice messages, and Danielle's own words to prove it.
The story begins with her words:
"I just lost her so quick. It broke my heart."
In this mini documentary, you'll hear Danielle share her story chronologically as it happened.
It's THAT sensational, her turnaround story. In this mini...
If you have hidden childhood trauma - you will secretly sabotage your child's autism turnaround?
Sounds crazy, I know...
Procrastination is not laziness - it's a trauma response.
Passivity is not lack of motivation - it's a trauma response.
Perfectionism, OCD and over performance is not 2drive" - it's a trauma response.
It will never lead to healing (of yourself or your child), though.
Because it lead's...
90 - 98 % of all autism/ADHD moms have it.
It’s the real (biochemical) reason why you:
Live a life of EXTREMES.
Obsess over your child’s diets, protocols and symptoms.
Feel depressed.
Have ADHD like symptoms.
Struggle with binge eating, eating disorders, body dysmorphia.
Are intolerant and sensitive to light, sound, stress, smells, sensory inputs.
The same underlying

These 3 autism moms have healed a lot of symptoms, AND they're still healing. They are not done, but their stori...
If your autism turnaround strategy isn't working by now - it never will.
The autism recovery industry is broken. So is the methodology. It doesn't work.
If you've been autism dieting, ABA' ing, heavy metal detoxing, syringing supplements, coached by autism experts and you've got some results - but not a life-changing effect...
You're still a full time chaos-pilot, bogged down by screaming, tantrums, pic...

If you're struggling with your child's autism symptoms, doubt, practical, financial stress, foo...
January is the peak season for divorce, depression, extreme autism and ADHD symptoms, anxiety and heaviness. Why? Because we show up with unhealed trauma-responses in December.
That's what causes numbing out with food. That's what causes compulsive shopping and doormat-tendencies, hefty arguments and deep sadness when your child doesn't fit in, speak or behave and no one seems to help or understand you.
Autism recovery is becoming UNBEARABLE for autism moms and the old school approach is DYING.
I'm taking a deep dive into the secrets behind the revolution in the health and healing community. Things are changing dramatically in 2025. Prediction: Winter (and bankruptcy?) is coming for practitioners who are ignoring this trend.
This revolution HAD to happen. It is not 2022 or 2023 anymore...
Autism most are protesting and FED up ...
Are you dealing with nightmares, hopelessness, anxious thoughts, a heavy heart and endless symptoms and problems without real solutions or change? You're probably under spiritual attack.
When you move closer to God and closer to healing - the enemy intensifies the attempt to sabotage your effort. The motive: hate. The goal: To turn you away from God!
God doesn't spare us from challenges and problems, but His ...
There is no crazy problem in your life that Nicole hasn't had (and worse).
- Her son with autism symptoms was eating cat poop.
- He eloped through the window at midnight.
- He wasn't responding to his name.
- Her marriage was awful because of autism.
- She grew up with abusive parents and had severe trauma and self sabotage patterns.
There is also no solution, biohacking tool or biomedical approach that you&apo...
You can have your biggest autism turnaround ever, just by joining the turnaround group coaching program for 6 - 7 months.
Case in point, we had 2 moms inside The Autism Turnaround Program that replaced non stop real-life-autism-nightmares with peace, bonding, all-night sleep, getting outside every day and no meltdowns or screaming …
For the first time ever.
They jumped in this spring/summer and by fall - they we...
Special edition podcast episode (3 year recovery anniversary for podcast guest Adriana).
What happened to Adriana's son after she went on my podcast 3 years ago? Is it true that she now helps other recovery focused warrior moms? How?
How did autism recovery lead her to finding her life purpose (and you can too?)
How did it go when she expected "progress after progress after progress" afte...
Relieved to get your child back to school? It might actually be a RED FLAG.
A child with autism or ADHD is already in a neurological, physiological and spiritual crisis.
Adding the stress and demands of school when a child is in "the dark phase of autism" can harm your long term goal (independence, a life with less symptoms and a normal life.)
I pulled my son from school for one year and focused ONLY on turning his symptoms ...
