I feel more literature is needed for the relatives of dearly loved grandparents (even great), aunts and uncles, and extended family.
Add to this young and old adults with Aspergers syndrone. Thanks, Chuck

I have used Tony Attwood’s book “Exploring Feelings, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to manage Anger” with my 11 yr old son. I must say, I understand the theory, but in practice, my son was unable to do most of the activities. He could not answer questions relating to recognising feelings or the way his body felt when he was upset (the program is designed to help AS children learn to recognise physical and mental signs of stress so they can use coping mechanisms to calm down). He would say “I don’t feel anything, I don’t think anything when I get angry/anxious…”. Believe me, I tried to explain things in many different ways to him, but he just does not have a clue… What now?

Concerning the daughter who won’t wear a bra. read the book, “Dressed to Kill.’ She’s right! There is a definite connection between bra wearing and breast cancer. I have trouble breathing when anything tight is across my chest. (There are covers for the breast you can buy that hide the you know what but even duct tape will work). This is one area where Neurotypicals should accommodate us not the other way around. We instinctively sense there is a danger with constricting our lymph glands with tight clothing (and doing so would make the removal of heavy metals and toxins from our bodies even less efficient). We should be checked for thyroid and adrenal problems. It isn’t just Oxytocin we can be lacking in. My body temp used to be under 97, bone dry and dressed. When I took off my cloths and got wet I would literally be too cold to think and it took me hours to get warm again so I was very unmotivated to bath! Now that I’m on thyroid meds (both t4 and t3) I don’t mind bathing or showering as much. Provide a way for us to sit down in the shower also helps. I can’t stand up with my eyes closed. It makes me feel I am going to fall down. Adrenal fatigue can make us cut corners every where we possibly can to get through the day and when one is intellectually oriented one’s body is an area that seems a logical place for cutting corners. We get so tired! Doctors don’t know about Adrenal fatigue. Go to stopthethyroidmadness.com and the yahoo group naturalthyriodhormoneadrenals to learn. What a difference taking Isocort and/or smearing over the counter cortisone cream in the proper amount and time of day made in my energy levels! By the way I haven’t had a single melt down since learning to avoid the neurotoxin MSG which hides in food under 30 different names including natural flavorings. Google it.
