| Welcome to the Autism page of IngridLoosMiller.com. This page contains a link to two papers about a case study on 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. We encourage distribution of the information on this website to parents and educators. We Welcome your comments: Email us at IngridLoosMiller at gmail.com |
