The root causes of autism- asperger ?

[smilingsun]

Is there some spiritual, psychological root to autism or is it only due to physical, physiological causes ? I've heard the spiritual root of autism is because of an inability to be grounded, where the spiritual bodies don't enter fully into the physical body as if the material world wasn't a safe place to be.


Is there and established between autism and vaccines, or some chemical additives ?

There is no connection to Autism or any other illness due to Spiritulism.it was said there was a connection to babies being vaccinated and Autism as far as I'm aware there is no Evidence of that either.
spiritualism has got nothing to do with anyone being Autistic.that is my opinion anyway.

Norman Doidge, MD, in his first book on neuroplasticity provides an explanation for autism related to the brain's window of formative mapping in early childhood. Various factors may shrink that window, selectively or totally, which translates in brain's incomplete, or abnormal, development. It is possible that early vaccination may provide a shock to the system in unfortunate cases.

Fortunately, brain's neuroplasticity, that is a quality unrelated to age, provides hope that many previously incurable conditions can be greatly ameliorated, even cured.

I don't believe that autism has any spiritual cause, but ...

Chances are quite good that Autism and Asperger's Syndrome are genetic traits. They tend to run in families. My father had Asperger's as do I, and both of my sons are affected.

I am perfectly capable of grounding, and have a few abilities along the spiritual line so clearly one does not prevent the other.

As for what it is exactly, whether its a genetic tendency that is somehow triggered by outside factors or a stand-alone issue I don't know. I know it isn't linked to vaccines though. I'm old enough to not have had ANY vaccines until I was 8 years old... because they didn't exist! The year I was 8, the schools gave free polio vaccines because of the raging polio epidemic. I had measles and mumps and chicken pox... because those vaccines were still decades away.

My son’s autism is related to a genetic anomaly. The very first cell division made him who he is. The gene is a road map that determines how the entire body is to be built. His entire body of a bunch of little surprises. The basic idea of neuro-plasticity is the brains ability to learn a new way of reacting. Like re-wiring the brain. He does not have autism from vaccines or spirituality or psychology.

I googled for a passage of Doidge's "The Brain's way of Healing", and this seems to be the first part of the chapter about autism, attention deficits and sensory processing disorder.

The same passage, and more, can be read in google's preview of the same book.

Myself and my siblings have never been vaccinated and at least two of us exhibit many autistic traits. I highly suspect that my father autistic is as well. Whatever the case may be it is pretty evident that their is a neurological deficit present in my genetic lineage.
Vaccines are completely ruled out in my case.

Society sees autism as some sort of curse that needs curing. Did it not occur to us that autist traits are more common among certain people, like those working in mathematics and computer science?

They’re capable of really detailed work, so perhaps we could recognize human variety and see the benefit of it. Society is far too obsessed with ‘normal’ behaviour and neatly defined people. Notice also how autism is usually more common in “orderly” societies... Like with so many other “mental issues” we shouldn’t ignore culture..

[Dargor]

I think of autism as nothing more than a curse that nobody deserves. Imagine feeling yourself totally isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world like you don't fit in, and having to live with it your entire life. I detest violence, but anyone saying it has any spiritual reason deserves a few good smacks on the head..

I do think that autism and aspergers suggest higher mental and spiritual activity, but I also heavily study healing with inquiry into diseases and disorders, and it seems clear that most all can be remedied or at least remediated somewhat with practical means.

It is very important to honor the Earth and our existence here, thus eat properly and take advantage of healing herbs and other natural substances, and exercise and utilize the body properly, but it is also important to honor our mental, emotional, and spiritual natures, etc.. because that is part of our existence here too. With my intensive studying of healing, and what causes illness and unwellness, it's surprising how many ways there are to heal and reverse disease or disorders, and a startling number of these ways including some spiritual or creative ways, actually have scientific research supporting their efficacy.

Anyways, I think that the conditions in question of this thread have to do with increased sensitivity and focus on realms or planes beyond the physical, even including the mental because that is basically another plane. So it is important for people afflicted with these to get grounded and nurture and heal the physical body so that they can be more balanced and restored to more of their original nature. It also could very well have to do with the sensitivity making them want to escape from the physical realm if it is afflicting them, ie with toxicity such as with the many unfortunate substances and things we're exposed to nowadays more than ever.. and it is certain that the evil things used in vaccines are detrimental to all mankind or life on Earth and make zero sense being administered. they're really just ridiculous and undermine the integrity of the human body, being, and everything we are and are supposed to be. I mean seriously if in doubt take a look at what is in these things and what they do to the body and brain.. We've been misled to believe all sorts of insane things are okay or good for us, and the simple truth is that we are beings of nature, and if we don't honor that and remain loyal to life, death follows sooner than later and unnecessary suffering before that. There are all sorts of artificial and natural toxins that we are not compatible with besides vaccines, but since they were brought up I had to chime in about the reality of that inanity.

So, the increased sensitivity of people with autism or aspergers probably makes them want to escape more in a spiritual sense because they just can't handle the toxicity, and inhumanity in all forms (including things like hate, because love is our true nature) and thus it is harder to be grounded and participate "normally" in the physical realm.. but with support and loyalty to nature and purity people with all sorts of conditions can cope better and open themselves to healing, which healing is part of our natural state and inherent ability. Being balanced and in touch with the Earth and our connection to it makes us stronger and more tolerant to the things that don't serve us or that are harmful to us. When the body or being is already too bogged down and overrun by toxic foreign things, it can't take anymore or deal with it properly, so it's important to detoxify that which doesn't belong, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, psychically, etc.. Since we are here on Earth in physical manifestation, a symbiotic relationship with and honoring the physical is far more important than we think and is of course connected to spirituality and everything else.



a little saying I made sums it up I think, but that is just my opinion and findings

"deviation and deprivation of nature causes disease, disorder, and ultimately death"
