Since my young daughter has been diagnosed with autism I have been curious as to why autistic people are wired differently in the communication area of the brain!
To me it is not a mental illness. I read that many autistic children develop psychosis. But to me it is a different ball game! I'll go into it more after I get feedback!

I think first you need to define mental illness.
It is certainly a problem that can effect their whole outlook. in terms of behaviour, communication and social interaction.

With good treatment and training most sufferers live happy and useful lives.
People do tend to judge things by extremes, when in reality these conditions are on a sliding scale.

I hope thing turn out well for you.

Why is this in Paranormal activities ?,i have some experience with Autism which has a spectrum so not everyone with Autism are the same,Aspergers is the milder end of the spectrum so depending on the severity theres no reason someone with Autism or Aspergers cannot live a normal life.

What i found with people with Autism is they like numbers or technology but dislike or are uncomfortable with a general conversation,because of the uncertainty where the conversation is going can cause them to become anxious,some can seem pretty unemotional,again though it depends on the severity .

I used to think autism is just a new word for spastic or retard, giving me the idea of some mental illness. psychosis is suposed to be a mental illness so if autistic kids develop psychosis does that mean that autistic people are mentally ill? From a health profesionals veiw!

I have heard that famous intelligent people like einstein, the rain man, and some presidents and artists etc had autism! What is really happening in the mind of an autistic person? Why are they wired differently?

I was diagnosed with psychosis about 3 yrs ago. But something puzzled the health profecionals. yes I see and hear things but if I see something and someone is with me, they see it too!!! Thats not psycosis!

Thanks.

but what is it called if two people see a ghost at the same time, is that psycosis? because the profecionals wont recognise it or beleive it and say it cannot be proved!

I beleived for a long time now that my condition is rare and been coined as subconscious communication by a friend thats into the Occult. I beleive that the subconscious mind of someone like myself, projects images and thoughts to people and can control them etc.
Its to do with a communication chemical in the brain simular to DMT.

when I read about autism, it mentioned that autistic people are wired up differently in the communication part of the brain... is this something that the profecionals wont even consider! Is there more to autism in that respect?

My two sons have seen ghosts and experienced paranormal activety! Just like I do and have since as far back as I remember!

Autism is also symtoms of the Luciferian vampyre!

I was wondering if anyone here has an autistic child and does your family experience paranormal activety?

Thanks

My brother and I and my brothers oldest son are diagnosed with "Aspergers" syndrome, basically higher functioning form of autism.

Personally I do not view autism as a disorder just a differance. There is a boy Allen that goes to school with my children who is diagnosed with autsim, he is a very sweet child that my children think is great. When I look at Allen I do not see something wrong, just different, which is also how my children view him.

Autism does appear to be a variance in wiring, deficient in some areas while being above average in other areas. All people have a natural variance to a small extent, it would seem that autism just has greater swings than what is considered normal.

I have vast abilities in some areas, physics, mathematics, music, electronics, architecture and engineering, but I also have great deficits in some areas to match,
social understanding, ability to use emotion, ability to recognise faces, ability to socialise, ability to understand social arrangements and many, many more.

While it is no secret that everyone thinks I am strange, everyone accepts me the way I am. I have logically studied many of the concepts that I do not understand, and from what I can tell, I am glad that I do not have an understanding of them.

I feel that many of us with autism have simply been blessed by God to have a different perspective than everyone else.

What is the level of autism that your daughter is diagnosed with?

The negative aspects of autism can get better with age, as a child I had a great deal of problems, I was jerky in my movements, I spoke with a stutter, I had a great deal of trouble with involuntary body movement, I always had a physical tick that usually centered around a noise and physical sensation as soon as one tick would go away another would replace it, I was always quite incapable of social activities with other children leading to always being picked on, but I was always great with animals and with my little brother.

I slowly got past these things as I grew older, I am still very very different from other people without a doubt, but I look on that in a positive light.

Thanks mountain Guardian,
My daughter is 3 in August, she probably wouldnt be diagnosed this young but she has some symtoms that were recognisible. I dont know what level she is yet but I think she will be alright!
She doesnt walk yet and she doesnt talk. she is on her knees often and rocks from side to side and flaps her hands. She lines things up and in some order. if something is missing she cannot settle and will be upset until she gets the item back. she has difficulty passing stools. I mean she is in agony at times and bleeds. Man, I cry every time shes like that. most of the time her medication for that works but its hard to give her the right dose.
she doesnt seam to fear strangers. she will give you breif eye contact when she wants but to try and get her to look at you without rustling crisp packets or other things that tell her "sweety time" is hard going.
I didnt walk or talk until I was nearly 5yrs old. what you mentioned about yourself is simular to how I was and in someways still am. I couldnt step on a broken paving stone, I had to jump over it. I used to look at my feet when I was walking. I would spend most of the day in a little world of my own "dreaming" Talking was hard for me and still is. writing and punctuation is hard. I know what I want to say but putting it down and over is hard and as a result I get misunderstood.
I didnt really like people and I didnt need them. I still find it hard to go out doors without getting paranoid. I have always found it hard to socialise too. I have seen ghosts and witnessed paranormal activety since I can remember. I beleive I am the Messiah.

My 9 yr old boy, didnt walk till he was over 3 and his speach was very poor at 5 but now he is at the top of his class in most subjects but he has the difficulty in solialising but at least he tries.
my youngest son is 5 now and is learning to talk, he is coming along great imo. he still walks funny but getting better! he didnt get diagnosed with autism because they thought he wanted to have contact with children. am going to get him re diagnosed because he isnt normal. His symtoms are... he has to dominate the home. he has to go first, he kick off all day long if he is bugged or things dont go his way. he is much cleverer than his older brother at understanding instructions. but they all differ in ways eh! The 2 boys both see things but I cannot tell with the daughter. she does wake up through the night often, laughing her head of and breaking into a song in her own way. I hope one day she will give her dad a big fat kiss :(

Thanks for sharing

David

My son is moderately autistic and I've studied a great deal about autism and kept up on the research for several years now. I'm not going to engage the subject in the "paranormal activities" forum, however.

ok, thanks :) wasnt sure where to put the thread but I put it here because to me autism is linked to communication on a higher level. Hope that doesnt offent you btw.

I am a teacher and I have worked with kids with varying degrees of lower level spectrum autism for about six years now.
There is currently being done a lot of research on autism, which, it should be mentioned, is a term that covers a wide range of neurological disorders which may or may not be connected. A lot is currently unknown about the autism spectrum, but if you need advice on a particular subject, especially concerning cognition and learning I might be able to help.

That being said I want to raise the same question that has been asked earlier in this tread about why this is in the paranormal section of the forums.

Let's get a few things clear right away; There is absolutely no reason to think that ghosts and so on are in any way real. In fact, there is no reason to think that there is anything supernatural at all. No evidence to support this view has ever been presented.

Hi, I get where you are coming from. If you and your family watched a ghost manifest infront of you, you couldnt proove it!
If you know about autism then maybe you know that some autistic kids develop psychosis? People with psychosis see and hear things!! Its suposed to be a medical theory that some young girls trigger paranormal activety. well there must be evidence somewhere of paranormal activety! Me and people close to me have witnessed it. a ghost is a projection of someones mind. These people that do this are wired up differently in the communication part of the brain!! Please help me out here... Are autistic people wired up differently in the communication part of the brain or not?

Have you taken your daughter to a pediatric gastroenterologist? There is research to suggest some correlations between possible forms of autism and celiac disease, which might explain the abundant antecdotal evidence that gluten-free diets help with autistic kids (that's our experience for sure, by the way). It may be related to folate-dependent methylation and the production of glutathione - a key antioxidant that protects the gut lining. If she has gastrointestinal lesions, you might find success with a gluten-free diet and possibly by giving her methyl-B12 treatments. Worth looking into if she's in a lot of pain.

thanks :)

I searched dmt in the autistic brain... there wasnt much info but I seen results of tests and it said that all the people tested only autistic and people with the likes of what I have (Psychosis which is related to autism) and there parents tested possitive for dmt in the urine!!! a tried to copy but wouldnt let me.

Dmt produced in the pineil gland allows us to communicate on a higher level. my doctor agrees with me. So it will be along time before this will be linked with autistic people and paranormal activety etc.

Dam, my condition makes it hard for me to come over properly and I can only apologise for that.

Thanks, the doctors could only give her strong laxatives. she hadnt been diagnosed with autism at that point. It wasnt till I resurched autism that I realised my daughters (Jenny) bowel problem was a symtom of autism.
Gluten free diet!! al look into that now... thanks v much.
Because she has only been diagnosed with autism just a few weeks, not much has been done. she got diagnosed because of obvious visual symtoms as mentioned.
Jenny is gonna start seeing a special dietician soon hopefully. :)

Thanks for your reply doppelganger
