As a researcher and survivor of autism, I can affirm that children with autism can hear sounds above the hearing range of the average person. Although high-pitched sounds cannot be heard normally, for an autistic child these sounds can cause severe pain in the inner ear.
Eliminating the pain
In an effort to stop this inner ear pain, the autistic child will plug or bang his ears or, in severe cases, bang his head against a wall to eliminate the pain.
This inner ear pain was practically unknown to my parents.
Being isolated in my own world where this pain existed, I saw the world from the inside out. I could not move to a proper reality.
This self-isolation was caused by my brain’s inability to connect to her physical body.
The inability of my brain to ground itself with its physical body did not allow me to complete the path or circuit to a normal reality. In the world I lived in, I spoke correctly, kept mental focus, emotional balance, and occasionally felt this pain in my inner ear.
This lack of grounding prevented me from traveling back and forth between a normal reality and the reality in which I functioned.
Also, without this foundation, I was unable to create any mental, physical, or emotional environmental filters that would protect me from these high-pitched sounds. In normal reality, people can filter out these sounds, protecting them from this intense inner ear pain. I could not.
Since then, I have discovered that there are two causes why my brain cannot connect to your physical body:
1) The chemical reaction caused by preservatives in vaccines that appear to distort the brain’s ability to form the proper frequencies of brain waves necessary for this grounding to occur.
two) Electromagnetic energy fields in the home that interfere with brain circuits. These energy fields are generated through the use of fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, televisions, computers, electronic equipment, flying in airplanes, and driving a car.
The Take Away
When your child starts slapping his ears or head, he is not being defiant, he is in terrible pain.
