I'm still waiting for my assessment.
I think I expressed joy without masking for the first time today, I'm unsure though because I've heard differing accounts.
It was squealing and slapping on my legs and knees.
Autism is an amaygdala issue. It controls how you feel. Heart rate. Nervous tension muscle tension. Blood flow to the brain. Oxygen supply to the PFC. The Amygdala controls if you are running away in fear or staying and loving. Autistic people should take the most powerful anti inflammatory known. To reduce the size of the amygdala. Which reduces thier fear. Which then enables them to feel love and attachment
It is more complex than that, and involves many regions of the brain and their interconnectivity, Autistic people have denser close-range connectivity within the regions of the brain and less dense long-range connectivity between the regions of the brain. This accounts for elements of physical clumsiness often found in autists.

But a large proportion of autism is inherited genetically, this has been proven. Much of the rest is caused by spontaneous mutations, so is also genetic, but not inherited.
so hypothetically
if someone is growing up without mom, only with dad, is he going to copy dad's amygdala?
Please understand and watch the videos, in regard to the Amygdala mother connection, daddy only affects mummy, it's not a theory or opinion, its proven
Babies are connected the Mums Amygdala not dads
it's not a genetic thing, it's a copy command
