A Unique Autism Perspective

I can’t remember my first memory really.  If I try really hard I may be able to go back and think of a time when I was first experiencing my surroundings for the first time.  It was in our living room.  In the 70's. I can feel the roughness of the green/gold shag carpet under my thighs and beneath my toes, my legs bent under me compromising my circulation.   The sensation of hot summer collided with the cool of the polyester night gown I wore with colors subdued in hues of pinks, greens and blues.  The smell of old spice, I later came to know, from my dad who sat a few feet away, running the reel to reel tape and listening to a recording of our days events … not sure why.  His energy was curious and kind as my brother crouched in close to hear the garbled tape winding and whirling.  Why this was my first memory I’m not clear.  The sounds of speech and I could not understand.  Confusing and swirling.  I must have been about five but my only comprehension was of the strangeness of this space I had inserted myself into from the other world time continuum.   Why was this first memory significant.  My lack of speech and verbal skills at the rounding age of five or more.  The only sense the world made to me was colors and sensations.  Everyone had colors around them.  What I would later come to learn as auras?  I not only saw them but navigated my world by them.  When others were kind the colors were soft and when they were agitated or fearful the colors were harsh and disconnected.  The colors are not what I would describe as the colors of the rainbow as you would relate them but rather feelings.  I have heard it described by those who have imbibed in psychedelic drugs that they have experienced seeing smells and smelling colors, etc.  These energy fields and auras are much like that.  Feeling colors.  That’s about as far as I can describe what can’t be described with human words.  And so for as long as I can remember I learned to use color energy to discern threat or safety.  Love or fear.  Encouragement or dissatisfaction.  I can’t say that it is always accurate as it can present itself distorted under extreme duress.  I guess...  

I don’t have access to other’s minds or thoughts so I can’t say if my assessments of auras are always accurate or not.  They seem to have served me well then and somewhat now.  As I learn to understand them more I have come to learn that they can represent my own reaction as well as the energy that the person emanating it can express.  Mirror neurons perhaps that what I put out is mirrored back.  And so this squiggly communicative energy changes moment to moment and is only consistent in the human act of lovemaking as far as I have experienced it.

It was this first awareness of this energy field that I communicated through almost without exception for the first five years of my life.  I guess now in the modern world we would call a child that did not speak until five years old autistic but the word was not available back then or the diagnosis or the prognosis for that matter of whatever we want to project the future to be of those who communicate through energy.

It is this communication that baffles and permeates the curiosity of the “normal” world.  We who are different in this sense are both sensitive and sensitized by the energy around us.  We have stimulatory surges simultaneously with the energy that creates worlds which can be a bit overwhelming at times.  

It is as if the whole world were speaking at once and we cannot hear the immutable individuated words even of those in closest proximity.  It is as if the universe speaks through this electric cloud and until about the age of 20 we rarely learn gently how to filter this energy and thusly noise.  The sensory stimulation at times is at best uncomfortable and at worst debilitating.  I learned to suppress and filter pretty quickly as a child as a means of survival I suppose.

Spoken word became viable through the noise and I learned to hear the syllables and relate them to actions but they rarely made sense because often the energy was quite different than the words.  To this day I experience the dichotomy of people's energy and words we would probably call “words and deeds or actions” as misfit conglomerations of what others might call communicating sanely in an insane world.  Where we are taught not to say what we actually feel.  Where we are taught to suppress our “humanness” and “reality” for reverse fiction.  Where we are taught to be, as children, seen an not heard, when we are screaming from our skeletons to be heard.  Where we are taught to sugar coat our pain and present a hard coating that is as thick as chocolate Magic shell on ice-cream scoops but we pretend are steel.  We tell others these lies so often that we believe them ourselves and in this madness create a reality that is so confusing to the “autistic” as we call ourselves and them that the chaos is stifling and under great duress we attempt to mute the madness and filter ravenously our own thoughts, feelings and energy transmutations.

We become heightened to the noise, the sensations the vibrations.  We rock, and bang in an attempt to self soother and go inward for peace.   But the noise never stops and the schizophrenic vibratory energies of what people say and what they truly feel blows through the sound barrier like a nuclear bomb.  

We cry and throw tantrums in an effort to relate to our surroundings or shut them the Hell up.  To scratch at the filters to get the noise to stop.  The fucking noise to stop!  We live our lives as best we can as normal humans.  Learning to navigate the madness and try to make sense of the constant stream and barragement of distorted thoughts and feelings that others are trying to convince us represent their truth.  Suppressed, repressed and challenged by their own world of tell the truth as according to those that make the rules.

We know better.  You may force us into the box.  You may quiet our attempts to force you into the light of your own truth but we rarely conform.  What you see as awkwardness is merely our stance against humanity's dishonesty.  As you tell it.  We know differently and call you out.  This makes you uncomfortable and so you herd us away.  Diagnose us and force us into our silent offices.  Quiet bedrooms.  Socially isolated and alone we know where the noise is the most bearable and so we quietly go and wait until you come into your honesty and can love us for the power that we hold and that you know must somehow heal the human race.  We are growing in number and it is no coincidence that we are gaining your attention.  We are families and we are generations of the genius, quirky scientists and writers. 

Love us for the gift we bring of awareness of the schism of your truths.  Love us as babies for the shrieking instead of speaking that we do.  Love us as friends when others rarely do.  Love as the beautiful creatures that come to reflect light.

We are the autistic with the spectrum as broad as your needs to own your truth.  In our light you can be who you are.  You can own your pain and reveal  your ghosts.  You can’t hide them from us anyway.  Why try.  Just be you and let us be us.

The Naked Doctor Talks with Mitchell Spreier - clinical pharmacist ...about Hormones!

Hormones!!!!

The Naked Doctor Show:

Interview with CLINICAL PHARMACIST  MITCHELL SPREIER

DIRECTOR CLINICAL SERVICES/BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT

We talked with Mitchell about what bio-identical hormones are, why they are different and the benefits of individual dosing.  One size does not fit all!

One of the most amazing things we learned from Mitch was that Saliva testing doesn't work and sublingual tablets are the way to go to take bio-identical hormones.  He has spent years perfecting the delivery method of these under the tongue troches.

We talked about hormones and weight gain and how to lose weight with hormone balance.  See the links below for more information.

Pollutants and toxins are everywhere—water, food, soil, air, dust, and everyday products and objects in the home or workplace. While the body is normally an efficient detoxification machine on its own, the modern world we live in can put a strain on even the healthiest of us. Build-up of these toxins in the body can lead to a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms—fatigue, headaches, malaise, irritability, mood swings, bloating, insomnia, and muscle/joint aches and pains.

While we may have limited control over our environment, we have a great deal of control over our own bodies. Some people find an enormous value in occasional spring cleaning programs or daily supplementation with targeted nutrients to help the body process excess toxins for removal.

Stress can add to your toxic burden. Even within our body we produce toxins, such as byproducts of impaired digestion due to stress or unhealthy eating. Stress can also cause weight gain, and excess fat makes a comfy hiding place to store what your liver has trouble cleaning out.
Pressures from work and emotional stress (and added pounds) can add to this toxic buildup.

Our interview with Adam Banning was amazing.  He talked about emotional detox, which was very enlightening... taking a break for negativity.  Negativity fast!  Avoid the news (media detox).  And he talked about our mission in life that keeps us mentally detoxed.  CREATE-SERVE-HEAL.  Very powerful stuff!  

We talked about detox programs.  The first detoxes were 1. Water Fasting  (drinking only water)  - helped some but didn't affect environmental toxins 
2. colon cleanses and juice fasts- also helped but not as effective as our current 3rd generation detox...

3. METABOLIC DETOX


Get re-energized in just 10 days. There are a variety of programs to address fatigue and detoxification. One of the fastest programs combines a simple, 10-day eating plan and an advanced nutritional product that supports the natural removal of potentially harmful compounds, binding them for safe elimination out of the body.

A fast detox—without fasting. Adding a specialized eating plan helps prevent the ingestion of new toxins to give the program a jump start for faster results. Its important to maintain adequate nutritional intake during a detoxification program to help prevent muscle wasting and further energy depletion.

People who follow this specialized program often report having more energy in just 10 days. I can also recommend targeted nutritional supplements that are gentle enough to use every day for ongoing detoxification assistance to help keep you feeling your best.


If you are concerned about how environmental toxins are affecting your health, please call my office to set up an appointment. We can discuss a tailored detoxification program to help you feel healthier and more energetic.

What's your money story?

Todays Naked Doctor Show Notes:

Follow the money $$$$$

Why do we talk about money on the show?  Because money is one of the biggest stressors for American adults.

Money continues to be the leading cause of stress for Americans, a new survey from the American Psychological Association poll found.
Financial worries served as a significant source of stress for 64 percent of adults in 2014, ranking higher than three other major sources of stresswork (60 percent), family responsibilities (47 percent), and health concerns (46 percent).  Nearly three out of four adults reported feeling stressed about money at least some of the time, and about one in four adults said they experienced extreme stress over money during the past month, according to the report.
Money can be a source of “security”.  So how to do we change our relationship with money so that it is not a source of “insecurity” or stress?

First you have to identify your “money story”.  It’s important to identify your existing relationship with money—what you are saying about money, how you feel about it, what you believe about it, and how you use it.

We all think that circumstances cause us to think a certain way — such as “the economy is bad” or that a person or situation is the problem.  Your thoughts create your reality.

When we consider “stress” the one true way to change our stress is to change our “perception” of our circumstances.  The truth is in life you have the ability to choose how we think about a circumstance.  You have the power to decide how you think about any situation in your life.

Your thoughts about a situation drive your feelings/emotions that in turn drive your behaviors and actions in the world, which lead to the results you have right now in your life.

To establish your money story lets explore a few questions:
1. What was your parent’s relationship to money?  What did they say or how did they respond when it came to money?   What memories do you have of your parents discussing money?
2.  Was money perceived to be scarce when you were a child? 
3. What did the people in your life say about money?  “Money is the root of all evil? rich people are snooty?  Really rich people got that way by taking it from others?  Being poor is necessary to be Godly?......”
4.  When was your first money memory?  Receiving?  Giving? Allowance?
5. Did your family experience a defining moment around money?  A defining moment shapes our beliefs – we take away from that experience a meaning.  If your family experienced a catalytic event – one that was significant such as losing family wealth, losing a job, living through the Depression, or a divorce that caused financial duress, this would shape your beliefs about money.

6. Did your family experience sudden wealth or financial success?

7. Do you have any unhappy memories around money from your childhood until now?

8. What emotions did your family associate with money?

9. How would you define the status of your family growing up? Were they considered rich, poor or middle class?

Now write one paragraph…”My current relationship with money is….”

Wealth is a state of mind.  It’s all a perception.

We may have money in the bank or in the stock market, but we always have the Universal thought “I don’t have enough.”

We tend to give money a lot of power and even give our personal power away to money.  We define our success by how much money we make or don’t make.

In our society we have a “lack” mentality.  We never have enough.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MONEY STORY

Take action to create change.  Set an intention to focus on learning as much as possible about money. 

I recommend that you get clear about the story you are telling yourself and others about money. Get conscious of your thoughts, beliefs and fears around money and what you have been carrying around since childhood.  Decide to change the story if it’s not empowering you.

What does it take to create a new money story that serves your life and enables you to take your power back, change your perception and reduce your stress?

Secrets to changing your money story.
1. Ask questions?  Consider your beliefs about money and ask, “is this really true?”  Is money really the root of all evil or is it “the love of money” that is the root of all evil?  Is money really scarce or are all your needs met? 
2. Practice gratitude.  Be thankful for the abundance that you have currently.  Focus on the abundance that you have.
3. Give money away!  If you want to be happy make someone else happy.  If you want love give love away.  If you want more money give money to someone.  The energy of abundance, gratitude and giving will bring more money into your life.
4. Be aware that money is just an exchange of energy.  The paper that you hold that you call a 20 dollar bill is just a piece of paper.
5.  Find ways to increase your worth in the world.  Contribute any way that you can.  When you love what you do the money will come.   When you serve with a glad heart you will have abundance.
6. Don’t take life too seriously.  “It’s only money!” right?
7. Get clear on what you want… find your passion in the life that is the source of money for you and give it 100%.  Others will flock to the energy of your passion and reward you with abundant energy.
8. Realize that the earth is abundant.  We have enough food, resources and money for everyone on the planet.  If you think about scarcity you will push money away.
9. You don't get what you want- You get what you believe.  Change your belief system about money and you will have great wealth.
10. Ask questions…. Did I say that already… ask questions to learn ways to increase your worth to the world.  Learn new skills.  Share those skills with the world.

Change your perception!  Change your life!  Love the life your live!

Love and blessing to you.
