healing autism and law of attraction

[Deaconvert]

Hi guys, this is my first post on here. Sorry if I didn't post it to introduction. Anyways, I've been very interested in the law of attraction. I really hope it works. But I need to get rid of any energy blocks first. I've been doing some standing meditation called Ma Bu for that. Anyways, i heard that you could accomplish anything you want with the law of attraction. If that includes healing any disease, then i have a question

Can the law of attraction cure autism? I've been searching on google by typing in the search: "law of attraction" autism. I haven't found any article or experiment or anything conclusive among the law of attraction community that says the law of attraction can cure autism. Please point me to a link if you have found any.

If it can cure autism, then that would mean it can cure adhd, because I think autism is worse than adhd. Thanks

Yes, LoA can*cure* autism, but probably not in the way you think/assume.

LoA could cure our impression that autism is a disease that needs to be cured. It seems much more likely that the general perception of autism as something undesirable/useless, needs to be done away with, not autism itself.

Autism is very special in its own right and no doubt has a purpose here among us. Just because the vast majority of us humans are too damn dense to figure it out, doesn't mean we should go about eradicating it.

Same goes for *adhd*.

Can the law of attraction cure autism?

If an autistic person became aware of the nature of the law of attraction, and if they desired to be free of autism and if they found vibrational alignment with that desire through congruent focus, thoughts, intent, and belief, then yes, they could ameliorate the effects of autism.

But friend, those are alot of if's...

Everybody is creating their own reality, we don't (and can't) create it for them.

As the mother of an autistic child, I'm glad to see that. I agree.

Autism is about how a person is intellectually, emotionally, and sensorily "wired". Autistics are commonly found in families that have a high degree of musical ability and genius-level intelligence, but nobody's trying to "cure" musical talent or geniuses. We accept that these things are positively different, but society generally regards autism in most forms as being negatively different. It doesn't have to be viewed that way.

I love you. Thank you.

I also recall a video on YouTube somewhere where Abraham-Hicks talks about autism... Hmmm....

Here are a couple:

YouTube - Abraham: A NEW PARADIGM - Esther & Jerry Hicks

YouTube - Autism is about Freedom

Just as a side note, my autistic child is a remarkably good manifester. Once she makes up her mind that X is going to happen or that she'll have Y, it does. Full stop. It just does. As she gets older and her awareness grows, I expect to see her manifesting really astounding things in her life (for now, it's mostly limited to certain kinds of events and objects, like, oh, specific toys and the like ).

LOA is not like a magic wand. You don't say, "I know, I'll change all the people around me!" and wave your wand and they all change. You CAN, in fact, change your experience of the people around you, in ways that can look like they've changed, but all you're ever really changing is your own filters on the world.

I'm sorry, I think the question has been misunderstood. I was thinking that if autism is cured, it would not affect a person's genius or any positive traits. What I wanted to know is if LoA could cure the negative effects of autism, such as social/communication deficits, which is a very important factor on succeeding in life for most people.

I just wanted to add another "bravo" to this statement.

Except that autism is inherently who they are. If you "cure" them (I dislike that word; it implies that they're diseased), you fundamentally change who they are.

Changing your perspective on an autistic person can change your experience of them. That's the best I can say on the matter as far as my experience.

The thing is, I don't really experience the kind of "negative/positive" and objective reality that you apparently do (and which I once did). I see everyone as a unique expression of Universal Consciousness, or, if you prefer, God. Who am I, with my little ego, to question the decision of Consciousness to try out life as an autistic? Yeah, they have a LOT of things to overcome, but I just don't see it as something that needs to be "cured" or "fixed" (which is not to say I don't participate in my child's therapies and so forth; that's part of her journey, and that's fine, but I don't think there's anything "wrong" with her, I just see her as atypical). As far as I'm concerned, she's as much God Consciousness as I or you or anyone else is, even if it's not obvious to outside observers (or to herself, but, face it, the vast majority of humanity never wake up to their true nature, so there's nothing unusual there ).

It's only our egos that insist that "different is bad" or "all must conform" or "this must be cured" or "that must be changed". It's only perspective that makes things seem negative or positive.

That aside, what would you "attract" on behalf of someone else? A good speech therapist? The best possible school environment? A great pediatrician? Supportive family members who "get it"?

Or would you be trying to attract just a completely different person? Someone who is "normal" and not "different" in the ways that have the label "negative" or "difficult"? I don't think it's possible to attract different DNA into someone else.

But LOA is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how reality is put together (or not put together, as the case may be). LOA is just one possible model, and it's only about "attracting" things to your own experience, which is why I say you can certainly attract a different experience of an autistic person. I have never seen any evidence that anyone can alter someone else's personal reality, though (or change their DNA).

I agree with what Interchangable has said. I was going to write that but he/she beat me to it.

Please, forgive my ignorance, but if there is nothing to be cured, why is she undergoing therapy? If she is only atypical, and this doesn't need to be fixed, why are you fixing her?

It makes a lot of sense considering the logical-thinking process of autistics. Since she doesn't think abstractly, like we do, she believes whole-heartedly that what she thinks will happen, will happen. I should think that, in general, autisitics would likely be more succesful *attractors* than non-autisitics for that reason.

I'm sorry, I think the question has been misunderstood. I was thinking that if autism is cured, it would not affect a person's genius or any positive traits.

Well. That would entirely depend on what you consider to be *successful* and what you consider to be a *social deficit*. To be honest, I think the majority of our society is completely out-of-touch with both itself and others. I don't really think figuring out how to seamlessly mesh into that *diseased* environment would be a *cure*.
If our society is so awesome and successful at communication and human interaction would it really be what you see today? Do you honestly consider our society - as it is now - to be healthy, successful and something to strive to *fit in* with? 'Cuz I sure as hell don't.

It's a little to safe and complacent to believe that limited-thinking, in-the-box, fear-driven, illusion-filled humans are the model we should all be shooting for.

Please, forgive my ignorance, but if there is nothing to be cured, why is she undergoing therapy? If she is only atypical, and this doesn't need to be fixed, why are you fixing her?

A good deal of therapy is actually about training/teaching the parent/family to interact with their child successfully, not so much the other way around.

Therapy is helpful in guiding the autisitic child toward sharing their unique outlook and way of being with the *outside* world. It's not about fixing them, it's about teaching them how to educate and guide us.

Why would someone take piano lessons? To learn how to play the piano.

She does speech therapy to improve her ability to speak. She also does work at her school to learn basic social behaviours, which she totally does not get. These things are important if one is to function independently in the world.

But that's not CURING her. To "cure" something is to eradicate it, like cutting out a tumour or altering the basic body chemistry in order to stop an infection. Autism is not cancer, nor is it any sort of illness, and I rather object to the charaterisation of atypical neurology as being some sort of disease that must be eradicated.

There is a difference between working with someone's inherent framework and trying to completely change their inherent framework.

Very well said.

My autistic child has fundamentally changed the way I see the world, the way I interact with other people, the way I deal with myself, absolutely everything. She cannot be controlled (and I know that's a euphamism for "misbehaved", but that's not what I mean), she cannot be manipulated, she cannot be cajoled. She is actually my third child (I have four), and I have had to adapt an entirely new parenting style that has overflowed to every area of my life. It's been an amazing thing, so far. I expect it to continue to be that.

"I spent time with Barry and Suzi Kaufman at their Option Institute and saw and heard of miracles. Their own child was born autistic. They were told to give up on him. But they didn't. They worked withtheir son, loved him, nurtured him, accepted him -- and healed him. Today he lives as an above-average, happy, successful adult."

That doesn't mean he's not still autistic.

There's a very famous autistic person named Temple Grandin who has led an above-average, successful life. She's got a PhD, she's a world-renowned speaker, she's an expert in her field, and she is most definitely and absolutely autistic.

The idea that if someone is happy and functional that they're somehow "not autistic any more" is very naive, and not something that is supported by adults who are autistic. They've just learned ways to function in the world, and ways to be productive, and ways to use their unique abilities and capabilities, in order to become productive and functional (which is what anyone who wants to be happy, functional, and productive has to learn; autistics just have unique challenges in doing that).

On a personal level, it's clear to me that this has come into my awareness for a reason. Probably, it's to address not my relationship which my child (which is, all things considered, pretty good), but to address something from my own childhood. I was a pretty weird kid (if anyone had bothered to pay attention and do any real assessment, I probably would have gotten an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis), and I was never, ever accepted for who I was, full stop. I was constantly being pressured to conform to other peoples' ideas of what I should be like, and when I didn't conform (because I could not), it was made clear to me that I was defective, broken, wrong, and so forth.

Perhaps this is why I, personally, feel so strongly about NOT putting a label like "diseased" or "disordered" on my child, and why things like "curing" her of an inherent part of her basic neurological makeup (and, face it, there's a genetic factor, as well, though it's not yet widely understood) seem to me to be other than nurturing and accepting.

Helping a child to overcome the hurdles they face is significantly different from wanting to simply rewire them or make them conform.

[interchangeable]

Once upon a time, left-handedness was frowned upon and harsh measures taken to*cure* kids of it.

Now we know it was simply a different way of being. No more and no less useful or practical. Just different.

We've come to understand that children learn in different ways. Some are visual learners, some tactile and so on. We take these differences in stride now. It would never have crossed our minds 50 years ago. Little Johnny was just plain dumb if he couldn't learn in the same way or same time frame as his classmates.

There will come a time when the lesson we are supposed to learn from the autistic specturm, will suddenly become crystal clear to us. At which point, they'll will exasperatedly say "See? I told you! geez."

They worked withtheir son, loved him, nurtured him, accepted him -- and healed him.

It was their acceptance of him that allowed him to be healthy, happy and successful. When they figured out how to let him BE, that is when it came together for them.

Actually that's not what the Kaufmans did at all.

An article from People magazine (1976):

An Autistic Son Tests Barry and Suzi Kaufman's Love and Endurance : People.com

6000 hours of 1-on-1 therapy is not "letting him BE."

A report of someone who did something similar can be found in Nicholas Sparks's "Three Weeks with My Brother".

Just to clarify, I can use LoA to change my perspective about a mental illness, but would it be possible to cure that mental illness(or at least all negative symptoms)? Please let me know. So far I've only had one person who thinks it's possible. Would other people comment on this as well? Thanks

[danas]

I agree with interchangable
autism is not something that needs to be cured. It is not an illness.
It's just different.
As someone who has close relationships with autistic ppl I feel like they are angels that come to the world for us to love unconditionally. What a gift!

Just bc someone is different doesn't mean they are in a worse condition then u, even if u think they are.
think of what a boring world this would be if everyone was "normal"
Art probably wouldn't even exist
It's like saying can I change another persons skin color using LOA bc I think my skin color would be better for them.

[danas]

Although I do believe you can use LOA to create the best possible conditions for the person to develop in their own special way

[rei]

Are you actually asking about this because you or someone you know has/may have ADHD and that is what you'd like to use the LoA to address?

I think for ADHD a person can choose to create optimal circumstances for themselves in light of their biology. That may mean the chance to work on enough projects to maintain attention or may mean something else. They could also create/attract resources to address the symptoms. That might mean medication and that might mean a program to strengthen focus. They might attract an opportunity to release the stigma, rewrite the story so it's not something that needs to be cured in the first place.

I don't think autism is something to cure. It is sometimes a chance for families to open up and develop new resources. I'm sure it's harder for families that want very much to be mainstream. I have yet to meet a person who is 100% "mainstream" in all facets. Even the folks who fit in all the time don't always feel like it. And what you see on the outside isn't necessarily what exists internally for such people.

Last week I ended up visiting a place where there was an autistic child. He was the biggest two-year-old I'd ever seen (not sure if that is related). He came over to me, fascinated by my elbow. He kept stroking my arm softly and giving me these sweet little hugs, and occasionally did what seemed like his attempt to laugh. I learned that he almost never approaches new people. He'd not responded warmly to another member of my team. The interest in my elbow was reported as something he's only done with blood relatives he is around a lot.

My conclusion is this child somehow knew of my spiritual interests, connection to deeper layers, and my own sensitivity. As if he knew I was part of a group that came here as a prelude to his tribe. I even communicated with him telepathically. He'd just left for a different room, and I spoke in my mind saying I enjoyed seeing him and wanted to see if he'd come back. Poof, he came back. It was a fun little moment.

Made me wonder if these individuals are simply wired for telepathic communication more so than verbal/vocal. Or if that is one form it can take.

I do think there is a vibrational component to AS that a standard level of consciousness isn't likely to see. I think this has something to do with the way this little one responded to me, with all the warmth and openness and joy he could communicate.

I've heard Esther Hicks comment on Autism: YouTube - Abraham: A NEW PARADIGM - Esther & Jerry Hicks

Matter of fact, there's a full DVD on the subject:

Amazon.com: The Autistic Revolution Children In the Time of Awakening: Movies & TV

In this presentation, Abraham addresses several questions about autism from parents and a behavioral scientist, and then reveals the surprising role that autistic children play at this unique time in Earth history. In doing so, Abraham gives their most complete explanation yet of their perspective on raising children, and shares their unique insight into the planetary Awakening now taking place around us.

But from what I understand people with Autism come forward into this life with that intention.

But technically, if the person with Autism can desire it, it can be done.

You can't create anything in his/her life for them.
