<< :) This is very interesting, Melissa. I never thought
about a connection b/n autism and spirituality.
Normally, I wouldn't have given it a thought,
but I am curious.
Do you have any more lines of "evidence" to share with
us about this connection ? >>
Talk about getting lost in my own little world! Am finally getting to
answering this fine question posed by Amanda a while back.
As I posted, my brother is autistic. Not high-functioning a la Rainman, no
extraordinary computational or musical skills, etc. His developmental
disabilities include profound mental retardation and autism. Tho I might add
that autism is now considered a brain disorder, with developmental
implications.
My evidence of the spiritual aspects of autism are purely personal and thusly
subjective. One experience I had many years ago was that I drempt that my
brother and deceased father were showing me around a facility of sorts. It
was a place where people/souls having a hard time adjusting were helped, sort
of a rehab/prehab. A few years after that dream, I went to a psychic. I'm
not prone to go to psychics, but had heard good things about this one, had
the cash to spare and the curiousity to get me there. When I asked about my
brother, she told me that part of the reason for the autism was karma (both
his & my parents), and part of the reason was that it freed him to work on
other levels of existence. She also told me that he and my father were
working together, helping people/souls/spirits make transitions. She blew me
away with all this as I had gone in giving her little info, and trying very
hard to maintain a skeptical, challenging attitude about the whole thing w/o
allowing myself to be baited. This psychic also told me that my father had
stayed around for me after he died, to help me understand and to help himself
feel he was doing right by me. That bit of info peeled back my hair as it
was true, down to the amount of time, how he came to me. Remarkably, I
hadn't told anyone up to that point that he had come to me at all.
Anyway, as I've grown and learned more about spirit and energy, I became
aware of the tremendous energy exchange that goes on when I visit him. It is
almost as tho he is bestowing a blessing. He and I have quite a spiritual
connection. I base my assertation on the things listed above, and that pesky
gut feeling that it is right. I feel with my brother that there is less
shielding his spirit from this world than I have, just that he has a very
limited range of expression for that spirit here.
Of course, I could be completely wrong! LOL!
