Experience the cause of ASD

The mind does not allow itself to absorb sensations and experiences. Instead, it panics and reacts with a violent spasmodic motion; a horribly destructive and illegitimate defense mechanism. This behavior repeats itself countless times, resulting in an acute traumatization of the Nervous System.
In order to reverse the damage caused by this behavior, this behavior must stop. However, it can be stopped only when it is felt.
The way to feel these reactions is by first calming your mind. This is done by visualizing a word displayed inside your head. When your mind is no longer able to hold the whole word, you will shed a part of it. Most probably, you will have to continue to shed more and more parts from the word, until you are left with a infinitesimal dot. Eventually your mind will become calm.
Once your mind is calm you can tune in with your mind, listen in and feel the tic motions that take place in the brain.
When the reaction is felt at its onset, you have the ability and control to choose not to indulge in this clamping and constricting behavior. Despite a feeling of intense fear, you would let your mind deal with the stimuli. This conditioning of the mind, to react properly, would gradually relax the accumulated tension as well.

Hi feelit, and welcome to IAN.

Your post provided a fascinating glimpse into what it might be like to have autism. (I assume you are on the spectrum?) It was also interesting to contemplate using some kind of focused mental technique to help one cope with overwhelming stimulae. This brought to mind relaxation or visualization techniques, as well as neurofeedback, and their possible use in helping people with ASD.

I did find one review of neurofeedback as a possible intervention in ASD, here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19856096?dopt=abstract

This technique involves having individuals monitor and modify their own brain waves much as biofeedback allows a person to monitor and modify their own blood pressure or heart rate. The researchers note that this is a new and still unproven technique, although with some encouraging preliminary research in place:

In the five controlled group studies that have been completed, a total of 180 individuals with autism have been studied with positive results reported in each study. These findings have included positive changes as evidenced by parental report, neuropsychological findings and changes in
the EEG [Coben 2007]. Both Coben and Padolsky (2007)
and Yucha and Montgomery [2008] have viewed these data as demonstrating a level of efficacy of possibly efficacious based on the standards put forth by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB 2006).
Added to these initial findings of efficacy is preliminary evidence that the effects of neurofeedback on the symptoms of autism are long-lasting (1?2 years) (Coben 2009; Kouijzer et al. 2009a). While these findings are initially encouraging, there are many limitations that prevent firm conclusions to be drawn from the data collected thus far. First, these studies have largely included non-randomized samples. It is possible that an unknown selection bias exists which could have impacted the findings. Second, none of these studies have included participants or therapists/
experimenters who were blind to the condition. Knowledge of group placement could have impacted the findings such that those in treatment (and their parents) would be prone to report significant changes. Third, there has been no attempt to control for placebo effects, attention from a caring professional or expectations of treatment
benefit. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is clearly needed to further demonstrate efficacy. In terms of generalization of these findings to the larger population of individuals who are autistic, very young
children and adults have not been well represented in these group studies. Lastly, there is the question of whether neurofeedback may be applicable to persons who are lower functioning or whom have more severe symptoms associated with autism. These populations should be the focus of future investigations.
