The Other Side of Autism

Since finding out Debbie was Autistic at 10 years old, and always had been (but I was only her mum, so why tell me!!) I have read a lot of information about Autism, and what I have read clarifies and explains everything that happened when debbie was growing up.

I have found out that a lot of debbie's "abilities", are because she is obviously a psychic. Psychic meaning to ME, her ability to talk to my great grandma mama, who died 5 years before debbie was even concieved, the "unexplained" little things she has always done, or been able to do. Her "imagionary" friend Laura, who debbie had explained where, when and how laura "died" at the age of 3, and in great detail too!!. I remember thinking at the time that was a strange thing for a child to say. She still says the same thing about Laura, especially when they have been "talking".

While looking for my own answers, I have searched the net for nearly 3 years now, eventually I found myself in a Spiritualist Chatroom. I am in no way a spiritualist, or in fact, have any faith or religion. But Spirituality has explained everything that debbie has been able to do and see, all of her life, so that has been a tremendous help. I have spoken to many many parents of Autistic children, and not one of those parents have ever said, "ooer you nuts or something", when I told them what debbie had done with her "abilities". In fact most were amazed that I had admitted it openly, as a lot of parents keep it a "secret", especially after trying to talk to a professional, who then made them think they were imagioning all these things. And also too, most of those parents children did even MORE things than debbie had.

I honestly believe that if Debbie hadn't been autistic, she would have been a spiritual medium, but, on the other hand, maybe its BECAUSE she is autistic she has these "gifts". I will never know obviously. But please if your autistic child does "strange" things. Do not do what I did & look for excuses all the time, all you are doing (like I did) is denying him or her, the gifts they are born with by hiding them away and denying them (for fear of being ridiculed). 

I did speak to a very close friend about debbie, and she suggested debbie was "possessed", and I should get her exorcised! All I had told her really was that she saw mama, so I never spoke again to anyone about these "things" except to my close family. But it is a FACT, that all children, autistic or not, have the ability to see or hear "ghosts", don't ask me why, I have no idea, my own belief is that children only get closed minded because they are taught to be it.

A child is not born a christian, spiritualist, murderer, racist, predjudiced, or refusal to believe in things , that is we are TAUGHT as we grow up, and we learn that by watching others. Beit friends or family, we are taught WHAT to see and believe. 

I will also point out, that if ever I saw or heard a "ghost" I would die on the spot with fear!! I have no wish to do that, all I want to do is explain you cant pretend things aren't there when they are, especially when it involves children.

Another thing I have heard a lot about is "Indigo" Children. Some children who have autism and those with Asperger's Syndrome are also Indigo Children. Not that I think debbie is an Indigo child. Because even though I have been told she could be, I don't believe she is. 

Whether you agree or disagree with me that my daughter is gifted and special, just like ALL children are, that is up to you, I for one would never condone anothers thoughts, Hope you don't too.

Psychic "Games"


GUESS THE CARD 
You need: deck of regular playing cards. Shuffle the cards well. Select one card at a time and hold it up facing you. For beginners, have your child try to determine just the colour of the card. As they advance, they may be able to visualize the actual card- it's suit and value. To make sure the child is focussing on visualizing the card, don't look at it yourself until they have made a guess at what it is. You may inadvertantly send the mental picture to them.

MENTAL PROJECTION
You need: paper, something to draw with. Have your child sit down and clear their head of all thoughts. Tell them you are going to think of something and that you are going to try and send the image to them. Tell your child to draw on the paper whatever pops into their head. See how it relates to what you were projecting. This is a great game to do in reverse. Have your child try to send the image to you.

HOT AND COLD
You need: an object belonging to your child. (Preferably something they often play with or use). Hide the object somewhere in your home. Tell your child what you hid and in what room (for beginners). Let the child try to sense where it is- be careful not to project to them its location. Help them out by telling them if they are getting "hot" or "cold" as they search for it.

PICKING UP GOOD VIBRATIONS
You need: small objects belonging to yourself, other family members or your child's friends. Have your child hold the object in their dominant hand. Tell them to close their eyes and feel the energy coming off the object. Ask them to tell you how the object makes them feel. What other things do they sense from it? See if what they say matches up with the personality and experiences of the person who owns it.

DREAM WORK
Many things about our past, present and future are represented in our dreams. Psychic visions often occur during slumber since the conscious mind is at rest and not interfering with the sub-conscious. You need: journal and pen. 
Upon waking, have your child think about any dreams or visions they remember having. While it is fresh in their mind, have them write it down in their dream journal. Have them include how it made them feel, any sounds they heard, textures or temperatures they felt. Both of you can analyze the dream for meanings. This is a great way to unlock the secrets of your subconscious. Have your child look for recurrent themes. I have a friend who knows that every time water is in her dream, it is a sign of some emotional issue. Try to pinpoint what symbols mean what in your child's dreams.
