Re: Running Stim

[Guest guest]

While I think behavioral things play a part. The real key will be

getting to what is causing this likely neurotransmitter dysfunction

among other problems related to this behavior you describe. The gut

will be key in helping your son. Your son is young, if you aren't

already, please looking into biomedical help. You child likely has

gut problems. Immune system not working properly so these things

aren't under control as they should. Diet will likely be key in your

child bebecoming well. Methylation support, Hbot, chelation,

supplementation in addition to this.

Our children have behaviors and these are symptoms that guide us as to

what is not working properly in the body.

There will be supplements that your child can take to help with

symptoms. If the body is toxic you will always need to supplement with

neurotransmitters for example. Diet key in regulating immune

system. Immune system key in controlling gut flora. Healthy gut

will result in healthy behaviors, example regulating, sitting in a

chair etc......Though ABA can teach these and work with the brain to

create pathways etc......ABA will have greatly improved success rate if

the body is functioning well.

Best to you

Here are my thoughts. This weekend I attended the USAAA conference

and heard 2 things that might make sense. First, A psychologist was

explaining the types of energy we have. Cognitive, physical,

emotional, and reserve. If we use up all the cognitive, like sitting

in a school desk all day, we have lots of physical energy left. So,

we should try to have a balance where we incorporate more use of

physical energy during the day.

Something else I heard from Raun Kaufman, a recovered autistic, was

that we have to get into there world to lead them into ours. We are

selling our world. Imagining doing something you really like and

someone is bugging you to stop doing it to do what they want to do.

How frustrating. Instead join. I came home and tried this with my

little runner. I started running and stemming with him. He then

started engaging, and then sat and watched me. I had his full

attention.

Another thought I heard was that maybe he is just bored and trying to

entertain himself.

Again, I am not the expert, just a mother of a child with autism.

I agree with everything said and attended those same lectures at

USAAA. What I also got out of the conference is that our children

are sick. We correct the imbalance in the body and these behaviors

decrease. Therefore we don't have to think about things like this

to the insane level that we do currently. Our parents didn't

discuss cognitive/emotional energy when raising us because for the

most part we weren't mercury poisoned. We could sit and we could

regulate and we were balanced.

I think our kids will be well when we combine what and I are

saying. We heal the body and use all the great strategies

available. I enjoyed Sonrise ideas. We've also benefitted from

ABA using Spectrum of Hope. Everything has it's place in the

different stages of recovery.
