Deciphering Autism

Deciphering Autism offers a broad and optimistic perspective on autism, with a focus on those in the moderate to severe range of function. It delves into recent research on brain dynamics, genetics, immunological factors and perception. However, it pivots mainly around how autistic people adapt to their challenges, how they convert brilliantly. a world of internal confusion into an elegantly structured set of perceptions, emotions and behavior patterns - all designed around the need to produce their own rhythmic regulation when the neurophysiological systems typically designed to do that, are compromised. The book describes autism as both a disorder and a series of adaptations; both of which necessarily included in a definition of 'autism'. Finally, in light of what research has shown and how autistic people adapt, the book delves into the possibility of energy and rhythmic regulatory therapeutic possibilities that might one day, provide remedy for this disorder.
