In an upside down world, walking backwards is the way forward.

Strap on some side mirrors for good measure as you probably can't spin your head 180° ( yet).

Love your work!

Interesting Article... however it portraits Autism as a disease... which I reject.

I do so because of my own findings by someone affected.

Autistic people are gifted with intelligence so far beyond one's understanding that ones understanding of infinite intelligence and the need to compartmentalize in order to do so reduces the infinite spirit to a solvable problem.

It is a squid game of put the Genie back into the bottle.

To recognize the gift they have we must also recognize the Genetic Memory that all living things possess.

Eating Meat is like eating toxins... and the Memory of death.

Autistic people know that they are highly sensitive and most can't lie because life isn't a lie... life is the greatest Truth there is.

The only problem as I see it is the miss communication between the Infinite Spirit and the Animal at heart we are.

A problem of Education of all people as who we really are.

I didn't suggest autism is a disease. I described it as a heterogenous condition - extremely varied. About 20% may be genetic, baseline variation in humans, but environmental toxins and nutrient deficiencies are causal. Gene changes can affect metabolism which then effect mood and behavior too. If some of it is simply poor digestion messing up life, than having improvement in digestion is going to improve life. Asperger's Syndrome may be more the 20% genetic basis. My father was like that, not quite normal socially but a gifted mechanical engineer.

In ZEN and Taoism we see the gift of life as energy... living energy in a living Universe-

So life essentially is living energy.

The gift of life i.e. the spirit of life that is captured by our brain i.e. a neurological Network inside our living Body may be too much for some i.e. the body shuts down certain operations to protect the body.

I suggest that Autism is that... a failure of expression from the inner to the outer world.

You will find that Autistic people have social problems because of that.

Never said that you see Autism as a Disease.

But many do.

JD - "Old saying ~ Don't be the pot calling the kettle black!"

uttered by Ulysses in William Shakespere's Troilus and Cressida Scene 2, Act 2:

"The raven chides blackness" taken as a signal of hypocrisy of the highest form.

I am aware of that. The graphic may be confusing if it is included. I hadn't noticed.
