Also I wanted to add (In the past we’ve been prescribed all over the counter sleep aids and homeopathic aids as well as clonodine & temazepam ) — both failed and I took him off of all meds and now often I’d give a Tylenol PM -when I need him to get back to sleep and also help the pain from the chin and head banging. tonight he was able to get back to sleep (kinda) his eyes are fully closed but he’s mumbling and humming a song.— this article has provided SOOO much clarity and I’m so grateful for all of your endless hours of research that really makes a difference in people’s lives. 😊 thank you.🙏🏼
I spent almost the entirety of my 20's going down the pharma road with modern medicine. I ended up fat, sick, and nearly dead. It was so unhealthy. Finally, when the last piece of the puzzle fell into place, I was able to come off all the meds (11 at the time) and lose all the weight. Psych meds really pack on the pounds. I was 130 lbs over weight. I've lost it all now, this many years later. I only take an anti-histamine for my issues with histamine intolerance. I still have my usual autistic GLP struggles, but at least my body is as healthy as it can be.
Another EXCELLENT article. Been up since 2am facing this very issue. Watching him attempt to calm what always appears to be his mind —these (what we previously believed were just night terrors)— but I knew deep down that it was clearly something else— the super fast scripting, covering his ears, his heart racing,and the self injurious activity, that while in this panic episode he’s become numb to. This just ended and I’m up writing notes to his developmental pediatrician for his appointment later today. And I’m just lost and can’t explain in words what this is how how to help him with this— and JUST LIKE THAT — I m scrolling through emails and I see this article!!! And for once — for gotdam ONCE— IT ALL MAKES SENSE!! Thank you so much Jaime! You have no idea what how this article will change everything. I have printed it out and I’m taking with me to have a more in depth discussion about it. I’m curious to see what the docs reaction would be.— and hopefully someone will finally listen and not just prescribe more sleep aids that so far haven’t been able to stop his nocturnal panic attacks. —
Thank you for the kind words. The articles, books, speaking engagements are meant to get the word out to the world that we GLPs exist and that we're not broken, just different. Therapies and such need to be informed by knowledge of our way of proceeding. Now that I have the scripts, I like to share them. I didn't always have this ability. It didn't mean that I was broken or defective, just that nobody understood my processing style back then and just thought I was weird.
I'm so happy that you found value in my work. Hopefully your care team is open and receptive to learning about us and the way we work.
