NEW THREAD - Title: BRAINWAVES ...AND AUTISM.
This following, was printed in:Asperger United, Edition 83, July 2015. (Page 10 (10-ish).)
"Brain waves are listed in order from sleeping to waking as beta, alpha, theta and delta. Beta being the waking state and alpha the state in which all children (and all animals) are in. Consider the proposal that autism is a brain which has more conscious connections to the alpha state, which is why the more "SEVERE" it is, the more childlike or sensitive the person is. Neurotypicals are "successful" beta people, while persons like me, with Asperger's syndrome, are highly beta, ..."
After that, it was mentioned again, in one-or-two later issues of AU... but still no-one responded to that EXACT topic (Brainwaves + Autism). So I (try to) invite opinions HERE.
There are "Links" to "prove" this matter, if the links given below still work:

Neurotypicals are "successful" beta people, while persons like me, with Asperger's syndrome, are highly beta, ...".......but are we highly successful? What is your perception of what is lacking....or is it the notion of success that needs further classification....? Is success of self the act of being able to be that self in tune to the beat of the world around them?
i have been reading about something termed as Highly Sensitive People and also has a lot of synergies with ASD...

These are highly sensitivised individual and very empathic and are of the world around them....with my ASD hat....that fits for me....I am hungrily processing the world that I don’t kind of “get”.
I asked a clinician about MRI scans. The brief answer was that the researchers would be years if not decades unravelling the evidence because almost all folks on or near the spectrum have multiple comorbidities to heavily complicate matters. Wonder what Mr Packham's 'cure' person in the USA would say to that? No doubt you can accurately pinpoint stuff, but how do you know if it is actually being of any real use with all those comorbidity interactions going on.
