I am by far no expert on autism, but have payed attention when the subject has come up in any way, over the years. My impression of this sensory over-load and difficulty processing information syndrome, that we call autism, can only be addressed in large part with non-verbal, creative tools. They are already having problems dealing with what is going on around them. What they need is outlet and expression. Before any human can heal, they must be able to identify what is going on with them and express what it is that they feel about it, in some way.(art) This aids in more understanding, which is a progressive flow. Finally at some point to realize that they are competent and able to deal with the symptoms. Compartmentalize these symptoms, to a time and area of their own life. Then having time to do other things, than constantly deal with those symptoms. Common sense can get us a long way, toward where we want to go, in dealing with that which plagues us!
