<P>I believe there are many types of autism and many degrees of brain damage in autistic children. Most all of this can be overcome and healed because the brain can often heal itself over time. From my perspective autism has been helpful to me in many ways because I went inward to know myself.

<P>Autism for me is overstimulation. I received brain damage which does not allow me to block out many stimuli from the environment. And so I withdraw to find less stimulation and peace. This is not altogether anti-social behavior but rather intuitive survival of my overstimulated brain and nerves. I need the greater quiet of withdrawal to maintain a degree of comfort and mental stability.

<P>This is the opposite of the general practice of over stimulating an autistic child to stimulate brain activity and healing. To me this would quickly lead to irritation and lashing out at others to gain my space and quiet. And this is often what is observed in autistic children who are overstimulated in this manner. I would counsel trying less stimulation and instead use sensory deprivation with the use of ear plugs and/or a single eye patch to lessen brain and nerve stimulation. And local sound deadening material for their rooms would be helpful to maintain lower brain stimulation.

<P>In time sensory deprivation will calm the nerves and stabilize them with proper nutrition especially magnesium, b-vitamins, and herbs and then normal learning and social interaction are much more likely and possible with autistic children.

<P>I have grown up largely not listening to music and the radio because this is painful to me in a short time especially when I concentrate upon it. And live music concerts are the most painful for me especially emotional songs because I am so empathic that I identify completely with the emotions of the performer. Often empathy is painful because intense life emotions can be overwhelming and painful even good emotions of love and joy. The profession of a singer is to express strong emotions in their songs and so the best of singers are very painful for me to experience especially live performances.

<P>I have great difficulty with grammar, spelling, public speaking, and especially phonetics, name and face memory, and learning languages. Foreign languages are nearly impossible for me to learn . And I have a mild phobia of having my picture taken, and being in crowds in social settings.

<P>This has been my experience of having mild autism but it is only one experience. I am sure there are many more types of autism and various forms of brain damage caused by vaccinations. So you must use your own best judgement in treating your own children.

<P>I suspect older adults who have memory difficulties have actually been repeatedly brain damaged from continued use of vaccinations throughout their lives which have mercury compounds in them. Mercury compounds are some of the most toxic compounds in the world and chemists know this. To inject them directly into the blood stream bypasses all of the bodies’ natural defenses against foreign invaders which is the height of stupidity and foolishness.  Mercurcy compounds are widely used in dentistry — so-called silver amalgams–are a 50% mercury alloy with silver. They should be called mercury fillings or amalgams or alloys not silver amalgams. Dentists and dental assistants that handle mercury compounds have the highest suicide rates in the world. They are the modern day “mad as a hatter” peoples of olden days when hat makers who handled mercury were know to go mad and kill themselves.– J.E. Ante
