Crystal Contraindications - Asperger's Syndrome

[Guest guest]

Annie,

 

Having a heightened batch of senses myself, with synaesthesia, I can

see your daughter reacting in such a way. (I feel sounds on my skin,

and I taste colors and sounds. For example, my carnelian tastes hot

and gives me heart burn. And I love Bob Ross videos, because I can

feel the brush stokes on my skin...it feels like a massage.)

 

I don't know if I did a good thing or not, but a couple of weeks ago I

sent some pyrite to some friends who have a little boy with autism.

They say he loves it, but maybe they were just saying that to be nice?

I hope I didn't cause him any harm, or them any grief...

 

Anyway, I have a six-year-old son who is a lot like me. His school

tried to give him the Asperger's label back in January. He's not, I

don't think...he's just too much like his momma...but he does okay

with the crystals I have. I haven't noticed any of them causing him

discomfort. But since you mentioned it, I'll look out for it just in

case.

 

In the past, I've witnessed imagery from books and movies playing

havoc with his senses. A library book's cover spoke to him once, and

it really upset him...he kept asking me what it " said " , but he

wouldn't allow me to check it out for myself.

 

I haven't seen anything like that with him and the crystals. They do

call out to him from time to time though, and he visits with

them...and rearranges them. I think they're rather fond of him, actually.

Hi Jazz,

 

I can see why your son almost got labelled with AS as Sensory

Integration Dysfunction is very common with AS. You might want to

read Temple Grandin's books. She was classically Autistic as a child

but is now Asperger's. Asperger's is a lot more than Sensory

Integration Dysfunction. From what I have read you can have SID

without being on the Austistic Spectrum, in fact I am highly

sensitive too although not as sensitive as you are.

 

Many Autistics are the opposite and block out everything that affects

their senses.

 

I doubt if sending a piece of pyrite would do anything major. I don't

recall pyrite affecting my daughter at all.

 

I get queasy when I get near Boji Stones. In February I was in

Marilyn Twintree's room in Tucson. We were chatting and I ended up

near her shelves which had many Boji Stones. Sure enough I felt the

queasiness even before I saw what I was next to.

 

Thanks,

Annie
