M.P. - The Polyvagal Theory Helps us Make Sense of Autism. Learn why your autist shuts down Learn why they find it hard to access their heart Learn to understand what it is your child is going through And how you can help The Polyvagal Theory provides a framework for Autism that allows all the other theories to rest under. It supplies not only a plausible answer to the question ‘What is Autism? ’, but it also explains ‘why’ there is a spectrum. The Polyvagal theory shows how a disruption in our developing nervous system can affect our social/emotional development, and how it affects how we process information from the social environment. This theory, married with recent advances in brain plasticity, describes the process of how we develop autism. This book describes all this, and then gives you the tools to help your child grow. 'Very often there are better ways of thinking which open up new vistas and make the unthinkable real and put the impossible within our grasp.'
