Intense World Theory

 

While no single theory fully explains all aspects of autism, each attempts to provide insights into different cognitive and behavioral characteristics.


  • This theory posits that the autistic brain is hyper-reactive to sensory stimuli, leading to an "intense world" experience. This hyper-reactivity is thought to result from increased neuronal connectivity and hyper-plasticity.
  • Implications: Sensory overload, social withdrawal, heightened anxiety, and a preference for predictable and controlled environments to manage overwhelming stimuli.

Trapped in Turmoil


Trapped in Turmoil: SIB and Meltdown


In turmoil deep, the mind doth rage,

A tempest wild, within the cage.

A meltdown fierce, the self doth harm,

A trauma deep, the soul doth alarm.


With autism's veil, the mind doth cope,

But oft it strains, and seeks to elope.

In self-injury, it finds release,

But in the wake, a heart doth cease.


Oh autism, thy ways are hard,

For those who bear thy hidden card.

Urgent call for solutions anon,

And hold us close, with open mind.

A poem on self-injurious behavior which is a reality for many autistics and is terribly traumatizing and battering for both the autistics and others around. We need solutions urgently.
