Depression

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the impact of autism on communication and social interactions through the lens of polyvagal theory. It illustrates how autistic individuals may experience fight-flight-freeze responses, leading to immobilization during childhood. This can result in agitation, digestive issues, and distorted community interactions due to an underdeveloped social engagement system. Factors such as emotional trauma, birth-related fears, or damage to the vagus nerve are examined as potential causes for these challenges in the nervous system's development.
