HEALING AUTISM ONE SYMPTOM AT A TIME: SPINNING or CIRCLING takes you inside the inner world of a recovered autistic savant. HEALING AUTISM reveals the world inside autism behaviors revealed in dreams which provided the means to healing savant autism.This book is the first in a series connecting the underworld to specific autism behaviors. Each book will reveal one autistic syndrome and the dreams which made it possible to heal autism.Dreams were the doorway into reversing all autism symptoms as an adult making behaviors conscious then reversing them.Autism is many things, mostly lonely. Unimaginably lonely.Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the latest name for the autism mystery. Autism behaviors make no apparent sense. Why do autistic spectrum children scream, stare, spin, or run in circles? This book answers the question.Frustrated by attempts to find help, I first recognized my inner world reading the great Swiss shrink, Carl G. Jung. I followed his path into dreams. I left my business and have spent all my time figuring out how to reverse my autism.I first spent four years (1987-1991) recording nightly stirrings from the world of dreams. I kept a night lamp on scribbling oa countless legal pad recording up to 50 nightly dreams and other stirrings. One dream spelled out the word AUTISM one letter at a time in 1988. I looked it up. What I read didn't fit didn't who I thought I was. I thought I could speak. Not really. My savant brain had memorized words. I believed what I saw was reality. Not really. My savant brain created word pictures of sight, sound, taste, feeling. I navigated daily living by intuition. I then remembered Uncle Morris, Dad’s older brother He could barely speak with awkward body movements. He'd never left home. Yes, my autism spelling dream had to be right. Dad’s savant autism was more difficult to make sense of. He was movie-star good-looking but spoke in a stilted artificial way, unaffected by our Brooklyn environment. It would take some time to understand his unique savantism. But I was him. He was lme. That’s what I inherited. In my first half of life, my savant's brain had photographed human speech and behavior whiah allowed me to appear sort of human (if I didn't talk much) despite no reeal sensation, feelings, or real speech. My memory, talent for numbers, and intuition enabled me to survive, even enjoy success in finance. Dreams tell the truth. I was much less lonely even with unpleasant truths. Dreams were quickly more real than my autism experience allowed. Dreams corresponded to behaviors. I learned that correlating high-powered dream images to my behaviors allowed me to heal my behavior. This I have been doing for thirty years. This method allowed me to restore feelings, sensations, and language.Spinning or circling dreams corresponded to my circling, revealed in running, driving, behavioral patterns. I had many over the years. Dreams provided actionable solutions. I also learned how to witness my behaviors like a research scientist. My intuition found patterns which correspond to certain types of dreams. Healing Autism contains words plus surrealist dream art. Together they reveal correspondences that allowed me to understand and reverse my savant autism. My art should prove rewarding for anyone looking to understand autism behavior.This book is directed at high-functioning autistics, their family members, and the autism support and research community, hoping my journey can open the inner world of autism mystery for all to see and for others to overcome.
