Muddling Dreams and Reality?

I am trying to understand my autistic 8 year old better.  Has anyone ever had dreams that then become confused as reality?  Is this an autistic trait?

Thanks

  • Hi there evebody.

    CJ,

    1. About the apology for having waffled on alot about your problems; coming to terms with your feelings is not really something you need to apologise for - at all. And this waffling business you describe yourself as doing - none of your writings have inolved lengthy vagueness or trivia. It seems all to be somewhat relevant, familiar and meaningful to me, as far as big childhood ouches go.

    2. With the double processing issues, Autistic People have all seven sensibilities working together as a narrow or singular specialisation of ability. This means that your daughter's issues - each and every one of them - 'are' being processed indirectly and directly by by way of also having hellish meltdowns and going all chariots of fire and so fourth. As such, her recollections are coming forward now as the psychological impacts of the funeral and all that heal, so no permanent damage there then, which is a bonus.

    3. With though the hypertension, meltdowns and running and so fourth, a lot of Adrenaline is involved here with Ketones resulting, and the body becomes toxic and uncomfortable. So Vitamin C as an antioxidant is required, along with drinking a litre and a half of mineral water each day - to rince the toxic residues out. Perhaps in the near future check with a health professional about hypertension, and vitamin, mineral, tissue salt and electrolite balances etc.

    4. With the aching legs, one reason can be lactic-acid, or muscular burn, so having baths every three or four days with 200 grammes of Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate), and the same measure of Bicarbonate of Soda dissolved in the water can really help.

    5. Another reason for the aching legs, can be that exercising them alot can result in Tendinitis, whereby the muscular development causes the tendons to constrict making the calve muscles taught between the ankles and the knees; with circulation in the muscles getting impeded, and lactic-acid burn increasing. To restretch the tendons and relax the calve muscles - when sat upon a seat; keep the heels to the floor and in turn lift the front of each foot up and down several times in turn - like as tapping a foot to music. This stretching exercise can be done in bed when waking up and going to sleep, and when stood around during the day.

    6. In order to learn to deal with the intensities of meltdowns - deep even paced pelvic breathing really helps; as shollow diaphragmatic breathing causes oxygen deprivation and normalises confused and agitated states of behaviour. Imagine in a sense that the bladder or whomb is the lungs, and know that breathing as if this were so keeps people calmer generally and during emergencies, and prevents many long-term health and sanity issues from developing.

    7. Another way of reducing hypertension, to manage meltdowns, is to physically loosen up at various points through the day, just as with limbering up and down before, during and after differing stages of exercise - which is fundamental especially during the colder months of the year.
