Welcome to our website!
We are parents and scientists interested in improving the lives of
those living with autism.
We present information which is based upon our success with of a
young, high-functioning autistic girl whose symptoms worsened
when she entered a mainstream classroom.
Our observations and study of the literature led us to believe that
her symptoms were caused in part by a severe, abnormal reaction to
stress which caused her body to "shutdown" in order to recover. A
complete discussion of this subject is in the paper which you can
download here,"Shutdowns and Stress in Autism"
including:
- A description of shutdowns and what triggers them.
- How excessive stress can impair the brain.
- How to determine if your child has shutdowns.
- How to help a shutdown-prone child in school.
- Descriptions of shutdowns by autistic adults.
A scientific version of the paper provides a detailed discussion
of the physiological basis and mechanisms involved. The paper,
entitled, "Shutdown States and Stress Instability in Autism" is
available at www.cuewave.com/tau/SI-SDinAutism.pdf.
