description: An easy to read book that offers a whole new paradigm for understanding and working with Autism. For parents, carers, teachers and health professionals  Learn why the digestive system is affected by autism. Learn why some autists are non-verbal while others aren't and why the autist finds it so hard to access their feelings and their heart.   ﻿"I have just finished reading your book....in fact, once I started, I couldn't stop! You have managed to convey some complex theories in a way that was quite easy for me to understand. I think that anyone who is involved with autists (so, all of us) should read thi﻿s book. I also found the drawings helpful for me to visualise the ideas you were putting forward :)" J.D.   'Just read this book it is amazing. Down loaded the Kindle app just to get my hands on it. Couldn't put it down. Is amazing in its simplicity. Worthwhile reading and worthwhile pursuing." M.P. -  The Polyvagal Theory Helps us Make Sense of Autism.  Learn why your autist shuts down Learn why they find it hard to access their heart Learn to understand what it is your child is going through And how you can help   The Polyvagal Theory provides a framework for Autism that allows all the other theories to rest under. It supplies not only a plausible answer to the question ‘What is Autism? ’, but it also explains ‘why’ there is a spectrum.﻿   The Polyvagal theory shows how a disruption in our developing nervous system can affect our social/emotional development, and how it affects how we process information from the social environment. This theory, married with recent advances in brain plasticity, describes the process of how we develop autism. This book describes all this, and then gives you the tools to help your child grow.  'Very often there are better ways of thinking which open up new vistas and make the unthinkable real and put the impossible within our grasp.' Moshe Feldenkrais  This book is illustrated, user friendly and unique.  For more information www.reframeyourthinkingaroundautism.com
