Autism Answer: There is a Woman with a Suitcase

There is a woman who travels the world with a suitcase that holds neurofeedback computers. The computers are packed carefully in what little comfortable clothes she’s bringing, dressed for the intentional play and family dynamics teaching that she will offer in the home she’s invited to help shift. This woman has been called a brainiac, a whisperer, a leader who follows the needs of people everywhere, and more.

This woman is Lynette Louise aka THE BRAIN BROAD. As a mental health therapist who makes house calls, she works in a very different way than most. Families hire her to join them in their home and—while giving every family member neurofeedback, not just the ‘challenged’ adult or child—she finds out exactly what their goals are and why, and then she shows them exactly how to get what they want. Within three days there is a positive shift, new understandings and actionable tools for change, every single time. It’s amazing!

Because one family at a time just seemed exhausting and unfair, Lynette Louise aka THE BRAIN BROAD came up with a beautiful and brilliant answer. A reality series that invites cameras (and hence, audiences: families!) into homes around the globe, allowing Lynette to offer her therapy free to families willing to be on camera, and her teachings free to the audience in a concrete see-how-it’s-done kind of way.

Of course, every family she visits is drastically different in style, culture and beliefs. This leads them to wonder if the lessons can be useful for them and their own unique personalities and challenges. Lynette solved that concern by deciding to choose five different families in five different countries with five different brain disorders--along with their autism. Each video taped family gets five free days with Lynette Louise, their own neurofeedback computers and counseling for life!

FIX IT IN FIVE with LYNETTE LOUISE aka THE BRAIN BROAD was born! The first two families have already been filmed and helped beyond anything they felt they had the right to imagine. Episodes one and two (a single mom and her autistic seizure disordered daughter in Kampala, Uganda) are available for viewing on The Autism Channel. Audiences of parents, professionals and individuals with mental health issues are waiting anxiously for more, while Lynette works tirelessly to come up with the funding to edit the next few episodes.

Folks rallied and helped to finance the filming and editing of the now available shows via a crowd funding campaign on IndieGoGo. So Lynette has decided to create and share another summer campaign and celebration!

She is celebrating because the show is happening and already creating change and comfort for many. Campaigning because she wants to keep on sharing and teaching and showing! Please take a moment to contribute and become part of the growing FIX IT IN FIVE family! Share with your friends and on your social networks! The camera man/editor for the show is ready to get back to work on episode three, and the program coordinators at The Autism Channel are ready to get back to promoting and showing the show.
