A brief history of Autism
Why has there been a dramatic increase in Autism
Well there was no such thing before 1943 and not recognized for another twenty years .and then a major change in the way it was diagnosed in 1994 when the diagnosis was changed to include children with milder symptoms ,including those whose language is closer to the ave Joe.
So what do we do about it
It my opinion, one must return to the balancing of the person and not just the label.
If they are feeling emotional and highly reactive children, then they will be using a major amount of nervous energy that will require higher input to assist in building up a good percentage of nerve nutrition to lower their overactive actions and to balance better what properly isn't ASD but what is a normal major imbalance of minerals due to high level of demand that all so-called normal children require for bone growth, emotional interaction, sleep patterns and the like.
There is, in my opinion, a lesser connection with their physical body than what is normal and therefore spend lots of time out of it and become frustrated when distracted from their thoughts.
They tend to react more favourably by people joining them where they are and thus gaining their attention, whereas little joy is gained from having high expectations of them reacting to expectations of them performing in a so-called parrot-like normal manner.
