nov 19th, "2012" prophetic dream!

november 19 2009.

hi all


here it is, already 1030 in the morning, on a nice day, now that all of my work is done, I will tell you all about last nights small dream, might find this Prediction Interesting!!
It has to do with the 2012 changes, probably!

in my high school i had a crush on a nice lady. a love relented.
she never paid much attention to me.
however, from about 1970 onwards, If she appeared in any way in my dreams, she represented to me, "the Anima/muse go-between, between me and my higher self"!
so after i began the out of body experiences and the other dreams, once in a while there would be a dream involving her!
....and i had better listen too, this is my High Self Speaking!!!

not often do i have a N.... dream, and of course some of these are more intense, meaningful, involving, than others.

Like of last night.

off in the distance I could see her house, the childhood home she lived in, with her family and brother, also a friend of mine. [both were in my same class, she was part of another family, marriage from divorce, thus same age]

In this dream, she sent to me sheets of paper with writing on them, letters to Freestone.
These sheets appeared in front of my face with her house seen off in the distance behind the sheet at the upper left above the letter.
[tiny tiny details *ARE* the dream, i find, at least with me, sometimes 99% of the meaning is in those tiny details!]

upper left = from the uncounscious but "above", thus from Spirit Reality.

there were several letters, topics not recalled.

But one of these letters had it where there were three or four lines where there were words, several words per line

looked like this.....


xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx
xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx
xxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxx xxx
xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx
THE NEW EARTH


the several lines were all colored dismal grey, but the last "new earth" line had print colored a warm earth tone.

there were three or four "x" lines, one "y" line.

*each* of the X lines had to do with things coming undone!!
like:
[and i do not recall in what order or importance or in what line. i will sort of have to make it up using the words that i recall, bear in mind that
any of the words might really have been in another line and sometimes in several lines.]

...earthquakes....ruin...
...economic crash...disasters
...depression...volcano..disasters.
...ruin...unrest....

---the New Earth.

the "new earth" was recalled correctly, i remember what was written , and this line was the line that was colored warm brown.

I do recall that there were several words that were repeated, in several lines.


was each line a year??
Might be, I think, especially as some words repeat, in several lines of text.

I also had the feeling, that the subject of the two or three letters from her, was about what was in those lines, even though
the lines appeared only in the middle of the second to last, or the last letter.

she is telling me something. i better believe, or at least be concerned. She is the Speaker for my High Soul Self!!

a series of years where things Go Bad, not all at once, but over several years.
then the world of Asension, where the new Earth will be, what some people call the "5D world", others might call it, "where
the human race will now live, in the Spiritual planes; not any more on the physical earth.



amazing tis it is that on any morning one can wake up to an important dream!

freestone

everyones emotions project ahead of them in time and space

I had a small event this morning at my coffee shop, one of those small things that i could talk about for hours and build a whole life-philosophy
around.

I was sitting there at the table and watching the news on their TV and then looked away and thought about the news article about the Alzheimer's caregiver who snapped and killed his senile father. for years and years.
the court gave to him 15 years of parole.

I had then a fantasy of some elder tasking a baseball bat and smashing everything in the children's house, when they were away shopping, he, Alzheimer's, living with his "kids" and they care for him. when they come back, everything is smashed and he is still angry.

all of a sudden a homeless man came into the cafe. he has been here in Tallahassee for years, living at the shelter since at least 1998! 11 years at the shelter.
from NY city. intelligent. but very
schizophrenic. talks very little to anyone. glowers and is into his own space. rumor has it that he was working on his PhD when the schizophrenia began. this will be his life till he dies.

the Point, so so subtle. few might notice this.
for.....

I began this "Imagination" about the senile father smashing everything, about 30 to 50 seconds before he came into view, outside of the windows!

SO!
--- I can now see, that someone projects his aura and mental/emotional states, ahead of him in time and space! especially to anyplace that is intended to go to, like of a daily cafe.
corollary: that some of the greetings that greet one, when one comes into a room, building, cafe, even a whole new city, driving into it, is not "objective"! one gets, to a lessor or greater amount, the people reflecting back to you their reaction to what "wave" that you sent out ahead of you, in time or space!

i can sense even the more, now, why the some spiritual dogmas have it where the last few minutes on ones "deathbed" are very very important as these vibes go with you to heaven.

on and on...the heaven will greet me in the manner that i project ahead of myself!

such a large Seeing from such a small event. few would notice, few would make the connection. inspires me ever the more to make sure that i work on
not causing unnecessary anger and other negative emotions to wave out ahead of me!

is *this* the reason why the end times are delayed?

hi all.

Here I came across, on abovetopsecret.com, and other predictions sites, yet another "gloom and doom" prediction. There have been many many of late. From economic collapse to visions of tidal waves and comets, there have been many. And..there have been many such visions for about ten years or more: few have come to pass, though.
Maybe this article, below, might explain why.


Annie Kirkwood. [ I think she passed away a number of years ago.]
She began to have Mother Mary, herself, channel through her, the complete story as to "why" is on the page below.
how it began.
http://www.baproducts.com/lifebook.htm
[I read later that Mother Mary, who had Appeared all over the world, in apparitional visions, wanted to *Talk* through a channeler, also.

the newsletters.
there are many of these, devotionals, mostly.
http://www.baproducts.com/marymesg.htm



BUT!
there is one special message. a message that focused, given in summer of 1996, as to
"Why the predicted end times, [as of 1996], are going to be delayed!"
http://www.baproducts.com/junjul96.htm
=====================

My dear children,

It is with great joy, and with great love that I encourage you to stay committed as you bring forgiveness and unconditional love to your family. When you make a decision or commitment to love unconditionally, you join many who are learning to be at peace. Unconditional love will spread peace from heart to heart. Only by living in unconditional love, will humanity begin to change for the better. When humanity begins to shift and change its consciousness, then great benefits will be extended to everyone on earth.

Many people all over the world are praying for good, for a betterment to their situation and lives. The betterment may be for an end to war, or the end of a family squabble, or it could be for an improvement in their economic situation. More and more people are praying for good, and any prayer for good, improvement or betterment helps. Many people are taking actions and doing what they can to bring peace to their family. They have committed themselves to heal their addictions, and in so doing, they help humanity to change for the better. Many people are turning to their religions with new hope, and new fervor. Many people all over the world are seeking to change themselves for the better. Some are looking to better their economic situation, others are looking to better their educational life, and still others are seeking to better their life in general. Many people are growing, and seeking to grow spiritually. Many more are in prayer for the healing of society, and this world.

There is more awareness of how each of you affect others. More people are giving a thought of how they are living. In many places in the world there is now an awareness of how each person affects the planet and environment. No longer are people unaware of the plight of the planet. Everyone is aware of the many people who live on earth, who are sharing the air, water, and minerals. People are aware of each other, their affect on the planet, and their affect on the whole of humanity. Even the most uneducated understand that they can join with others and make great differences in their governments, their environment and in their plight. Many are taking action and are praying.

It is this awareness, these decisions and understanding that has benefitted the whole of humanity. The many disasters I told you about in past messages have been delayed and minimized to such an extent that a grace period has been granted humanity. You will find that the next few years will be given to you in order that you may be ready and prepared in total. You will have an extension of up to ten years.

During the ten-year grace period, there will still be many storms and the weather will continue to be erratic and unusual. People will lose their life because of the weather and because of natural disaster. People will continue to comment on the weird and unusual weather. Scientists will give many explanations, but none will be able to tell you exactly what is happening with Mother Nature.

....snip....

The year 2012 will be a year of monumental change, which will affect all areas of your life. Between now and this year of change, many people will develop new perceptions and new understandings. Many people will seek to find the inner healing of a peaceful soul. During this time, I call upon you, my aware children, to increase your prayers, so that this grace period will be extended to its fullest of fifteen years.

[ 15 years from 1996 = 2011!]

......snip......

Don't be so much concerned with the outer things in your life; what you eat, what you drink, what you wear, or how you look. Be more concerned with what is eating at your heart, what you're keeping hidden from yourself, what addictions or obsessions may be wearing away your spirit connection, and of how you look in your heart of hearts. When you take care of the inside, your heart and mind, then and only then, the outer issues will take care of themselves. Pray to be loving at all times, not just the outer manifestations of a loving person, but the inner manifestations of a loving soul. People can put on the face of a loving person and hold the mask of sweetness in place for a time, but the truly loving heart will be seen in the midst of anger, and in the midst of great tribulation. A spirit-filled person will be calm in the face of chaos and will be brave and courageous when in great fear.

Be more vigilant now during this blessed period of grace. Let your inner guidance lead you in ways to heal the issues of the heart. Allow your spirit to guide you to live a life that is filled with the joy of unconditional love, the peace of a forgiving soul, and the beauty of willing spirit. I am loving you and am proud of you, my faithful children.

Mary, Mother of Jesus.

===================

my favorite prediction, people, from any Source!

at first she says, "10" years extension, then she says "15 years.
I *think* that somewheres she might say that 2011 or 2012 is the further est back that the delay can be pushed! Something about "God's Law", as to 2012 being the Wall!

*then* there is a special message, one given in 2002, a "fine tuner" six years later.
Note that she gives, if you go to the link to read the whole thing, that she gives year by year, from about 2003 onwards, predictions of terrible events. but most of these DID NOT HAPPEN!
of Course!! all of these terrible events were over written and canceled, as per the writitngs, above!!

lets see now, about, according to her, the 2012 events that are NOT supposed to be canceled!
the supposed events that are to be written in Stone and uncancialible, according to mother mary.
http://www.baproducts.com/pred2002.htm


==============

2012 is the year that all things collide and explode into a new era. It is the year you are in danger from outer space. From things that come to you from these regions and land on earth. A meteor of large portions will come either close or fall on earth during this year. It will be a replay of history. This large meteor will be so large it will change earth and all who are on earth in a flash. This will also be the era of the turning of earth. Of a time of great change in lands and land areas of oceans and the displacement of oceans, of the rising of new lands, and the settling of old lands beneath the sea.
==============

look familiar?! have you all, ye prophecy internet hounds, seen this Prediction before
some wheres, maybe from most of the seers that you know, perhaps?!

"come either close or fall on earth during this year."!!
mother Mary came to *ME*, apparently, about a year ago!!
I was shown *this*

http://freestonesvisions.blogspot.com/2008/10/vision-of-astroid-hitting-earth.html

Oh this ole freestone had a doozy of a dream last night, the 23rd of October, 2008.

Not too often do I have one of those "end of the world" dreams; this is one of them!

The dreambegins, innocently enough, where I dreamawake to find that I am in the U S
Air Force, working in the computer room. Since I was in the Air Force in the 60s, working there with computers, this dream scene appears to me about 3 or 5 times a month.
[symbolizes "me" in my inner mind]

There was a bit of "astral" feeling to this dream, as there sometimes is, the people that I worked with seemed to be real people and people I never knew in life.
[probably astral traveled to meet a group of people, bringing some of my own scenery with me! I do this sometimes, to meet people, we meet in a place that I "bring with me" from my earthlife: if I had not paid attention to the astral "scenery", I would think upon awakening that I had just another dream!]
I took a small break to sit and rest, alone in a room next to the computer.
Suddenly I noted some "disturbance" on the wall to my right! A scene appeared there, a scene like of a mural, a scene about five feet across. I had trouble understanding what I saw, a still frame of what looked to be of a group of "royal looking" men. men of Authority, like of Head Priests. They stood in rows, about
10 to 15 men, with "Egyptian" looking buildings behind them. They did not move, the scene stood there for many minutes. I could not recognize what culture gave to them their clothes, but the clothes and headgear just oozed...."authority".."ruler"...."chief"..."head priest".
[These Guides came "down" from a higher heavenly plane, to give to me their Knowledge of a future event-to-come, where I came up to the astral plane to receive this message]

Then, the scene changed. I saw the earth from space, the planet was about three feet across, on this wall. Then I saw coming from above and behind the earth, another round body of a planet "toid". the body was very round, unlike asteroids shapes. This object looked to be about 800 to 1200 miles across.
Then I saw this planet approach the earth in a nearly parallel path. This object then struck the earth with a glancing blow and then passed off again into space.





My dream jaw dropped, at this image, I then called the men in from the other room, but I was the only person who could see this image, as it then faded, I heard what I thought was a dim voice speaking from the wall.


"in about two to three years"!!

I wake up. end of dream!

maybe the economic Depression will be the least of our fears, if this comes to pass. Did I have a prophetic vision, given to me by these Priests?! Are they right?

"a glancing blow"?!!
.............................
As I lay half-awake, I meditated upon the images from this vision. i did not get much for the planet image, but I got something VERY interesting for the three rows of the Guides that looked abit like aliens.

I got an Impression: they are of the Roman Catholic church!
the "Ascended Saints"! that is the word that I got.
[*really* old old souls, maybe an Office of archangels, ??????]
Then I saw a full front image of a young woman with a baby in her arms.
MOTHER MARY, of course!

*this* now places this vision up to a even higher level of incredibility!!
===========================

"It is the year you are in danger from outer space. From things that come to you from these regions and land on earth. A meteor of large portions will come either close or fall on earth during this year."
yup!
a "glancing blow" all right! same as she gave it to annie back in 2002!

there.
This explains, to ME, why there are no earthchanges that match all of the "doomsayers"!
for years and years, the "max" is seen and then nothing happens. This could be why.
just wait till 2011-2012!!

you have my permission to repost this article elsewheres!

a slightly new way of looking at autism!

autism.

I think I have a slightly new slant upon why autistic adults act the way they do!

[this might apply less to left brain, verbal, aspergers; more than to the right brained high level, thinking in images, autistic people!]

I once read about how brain scans, in kids 7 years old, show profound differences in brain wirings, between Normal children and autistic children. the normals showed two areas light up, when
a stimulus goes from one part of the brain to another part of the brain. In autistic kids, though, as many as 7 or 8 areas light up and it was shown that the stimulus does not go normally from one area to the second, in autistic brains, this stimulus has to make detours throughout the brain!

think of a string of Christmas tree lights. some kinds have it where if one bulb is burned out, the whole string is dark, where in other types of strings, if one light burns out, the others stay lit up.

Normal brain: childhood goes into adulthood and the child thinkings sink down into the subconscious mind, never to be used much again. the person becomes "adult" and lets the ways of the child, go away.
Think: the dark bulbs of childhood are dark, no electric, but the rest of the string's lights are lit.

autistic brain: as every part of the brain is now used, in a random, associative, manner, NO neural area can "rest".
the whole string of lights need every single bulb to work or else the whole string is dark.

so.
what i sense is that for these autistics, childhood never ever ends, no matter if the man is 50 years old! "childhood" and its thinkings and behavior patters are "right now, today", what was done and thought at, say, age 6, is as vital and Present, today as it was back at 7 years old!

Not only do many autistics look young for their age...
[I have seen 15 year old "kids" turn out to be 42 years old!]
....but that the PATTERNS of childhood are just as real and vital as they were then today!

1...the need for Mother. needing what childhood was like, IS like: a firm feeling of being mothered and fathered, having a nice shell around oneself of Knowing security, like a 5 year old needs.

2...playing with toys in a way that is more "primitive" than the toy might warrant. Like twirling a toy soldier around like a top instead of role-playing it. of Course! the fellow is just playing the way a 3 year old would play with it as the three year old way of playing came first and is NEVER forgotten, even at 40 years old! Thus, the toy is spun around, as that is just as satisfying.


I could go on and on, but in essence, i now see that for many autistic people, there is that great mixture of "4 year oldness" and 12 year oldness, and 18 year oldness, all together in the same mind, the same heart, the same person, when he is even 60 years old!

never outgrow the need for Mother.
always, if intelligent aspers, asking questions and poor social stroking's as....does a kid 6 years old have a social awareness?!

these are some of my thoughts.

the incredible shrinking donut!

hi all.

Someone offered me a donut from their krispy Kreme box, today. I last had one about a year ago. I noticed right away that the donuts were smaller than last year's!

Those "tootsie rolls" individual candies? they each were, once, about an inch or so long. not any more! need a microscope to see one of them, now!

say!
I propose that for the last number of years that our "TRUE" inflation, economically speaking, has been about 30 to 40 percent a year!

--Cereal boxes that are now so thin that I do not know how they can stand up!

--tables and bookcases that *look* like a 3-D image of a bookcase or table: sawdust and urea glue plus a thin paper cover!

we are being Cheapened to death! the true cost of Real Things, now, are probably out of reach for most of us!
$8 candy bars. $400 bookcases. $15 for a dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts!
I suspect this is the Real Cost of these items, compared to about 1998!

An Idea for a doctor's dissertation: research our True Inflation rate, over the last 20+ years!!

october 25th

hi all.

October 25th. I am still here. The earthboppin forums has a poster writing about the increase of the number of deaths. the 2012 movie is due out soon. 2012 Approaches! the collective unconsciousness, *alone*, without any psychic promptings from spirit, could cause strange effects in our lives, as awareness is focused upon that year.
probably by late 2011, especially if there is a disaster or three, there will so many books and magazines written that most of any bookstore could be filled with nothing else but!

be aware. discern. listen to YOUR inner Voice, do not get caught up in the mass hysterics.

why is it that so many psychic predictions are "overblown"?!

I posted this to a prophecy, predictions, forum.

Many seers predictions seem to be where the event in the future, seen, is, even if seen eventually to be true, the event that happens is often far less "serious" than the seer saw!
[like: "I was shown a tidal wave that ruins the coast of Japan, by next year", by some Japanese seer. Many many people get all worried and some more away from the coast. Low and behold the next year brings a tidal wave to all of west japan's coast, but the wave is two foot tall, at low tide, and brings only small damage. There are a few moored boats ruined and a few coastal buildings damaged, and one sea-side pub is destroyed. The paper reads that the 10 people in this bar were in panic as the wave crashed through the front wall, some of these people went "berserk", this paper stated, and three were killed.]

Hardly a catastrophic event for all of Japan!


Subject: Re: why *are* there so many disasters seen to come, my theory!


hi all.

there is yet *another*factor here at work, when a message comes that a "terrible event will occur"!

if a spirit being were to see and feel a future event "through someone's eyes", this Being will also feel this event through the heart and the emotions too, of that person.

I have an image.
shows this well.

----my grandfather had a lakeside cottage on the banks of Cayuga lake. In the later summer, he would close the cottage up for the winter.
Now it is December and there is snow on the ground. the cottage is quiet, the only thing stirring is one mouse, one mouse that is walking along the top of a shelf looking for food. There is a pot on this shelf and the top of the pot is level with the top of the shelf: this mouse investigates the opening of the pot and then falls into this pot!
Bad news for this mouse! the pot has a narrow top and this pot is about 18 inches deep, the mouse cannot possibly jump out of it. To boot, the pot is made of glass so the mouse can see the outside but cannot get there.
so this mouse runs around and around in a panic. runs..runs..jumps..runs..jummps!

NOW:
....suppose a spirit being were to Probe the heart center of this mouse, now. there would be a LOT of emotion there indeed. that mouse is in a danger supreme and it is in panic mode.
Then this spirit being backs up and passes through the walls of this cottage and then floats out over the lake, about 50 feet off of the water and then floats over to the other side of the lake, which is over two miles away. From *that* vantage point, looking back to the cottage, 2.5 miles away, what now, people, can it feel about this mouse?!
the lake is calm. the sky is blue, a warm Indian summer day. Hard to imagine that a mouse is dying, far far away!

"Tempest in a teapot"!

to a fly or beetle, if it were just on the other side of the glass, on the outside, if it could Feel the mouse's agony, agony felt from two inches away, why that bug might be nearly overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotions and of the frantic actions of this mouse!

the mouse will die of exhaustion and dehydration, sloooowly!

when grandfather opens the cottage in the spring, he always found a dead, dried, mouse, in that pot!

yes?!
--suppose a seer, here on earth, were to tap into a person in the act of being buried by a landslide, somewheres in the Rocky mountains. this slide only is about 50 feet wide but this guy's tent is right in the path of it. the slide comes just as this camper is getting ready to fall asleep.
He struggles mightily, as the mud covers him ten feet deep. he chokes and he strangles, a ton of mud and rock oppress him. Now imagine..imagine his emotional state if you were two feet from him?
Then..imagine being on a mountain top 100 miles away, you could dimly see, with your binoculars, the rock slide. You would feel nothing.

Thus some seers and the guides, and other spirit beings, might well give the seer the impression that this man's struggles unto death, is a huge HUGE collective event! the emotions *are* intense, the panic is there: there is no indication, *in* the Seeing, that this death is just "local"!
Be easy then to ascribe his death to some huge asteroid hit, or tidal wave crushings!!

thus I suppoise that many foreseen events arew thusly "overblown" in scope and intensity!

mother comes from heaven

mother comes from heaven

[an older dream, i came scross this in my flickr and thought that i would post it.
may 1999. A dream where my 25 year deceased mother appears to me, as I, in the dream, am standing by the mailbox in front of my childhood home. She looks 100+ feet high, to the West direction, at the horizen! she tells me this message, "39, 3, 99: these numbers are in the Bible"!
I feel this is a Real Appearence! As if she actually, Objectively, appeared , coming down from heaven to tell me this message! Just to say out lod those three numbers.

Thus this "photo" is a drawing of the scene from my dream.

my advice to parent with autistic boy

advice to parent with autistic boy


HELLO EVERYONE!

Someone from some newsgroup...asked me a question
about their young son who had just been diagnosed with
some type of the spectrum of Autism.
they asked....
> as we go into teen years is there any words of
> wisdom that you might have for his father or myself?
i was a bit taken aback to this...as,one...i never
married or had kids...and two...i am not a counselor
by profession. i am only a person with a bit of HLF
or aspers autism!

but i said something....
and got into it.
so...
i might as well share what i wrote, to you all...maybe
there even might be some help given!

with that understandings...here goes!!
------------
----------------------



my....what words of wisdom can i give in one minute or
less??!

actually, i can give some general advice...

[to give to me reinforcements to write MORE than a one
minute reply...i will write this out to a larger
audience and then remove your personal references and
then post it to a few autistic groups...]

I can IMAGINE the steps of Discovery!

first, your son was seen to be "different".

then there was the taking him to see the experts and
then the diagnosis comes.

there IS Relief...the Demon IS named; there is now a
label that you have that is a kind of handle for his
condition.
Of course, your concern has been alleviated; but it
also has grown.....WHAT OF HIS FUTURE?! how can we
help him to be able to live?!

then you go through those "several steps of mourning"
--grievings...sadness...anger...then Healing!!

I sorta see this boy in front of me. he has a label
to his condition.
however...the label "house" refers to a building that
one lives in; that one word "house" covers about
ten-thousand kinds of dwellings!!
thus "aspergers" or "high level functioning
autism"...is a label that will cover MANY kids of
brain conditions.

simply put...the "trick" of helping the child...is to
MAXIMIZE the Talent-aspect of his symptoms, and to
MINIMIZE the "negative" aspects of his conditions...

maximize......
as in like of this:
some A people think mostly in image pictures...like of
me. perhaps there is a career, like graphic arts,
that would be a natural for this person. if the mind
is good, a high IQ...perhaps the computer programing
field will do...look at Bill Gates!! i read that some
people think that he has HL Autism!!
yes, accentuate his Strengths, whatever they are,
as each Autistic person will have a different symptom
spectrum. thus...go find out what his strengths are,
though official testings or by just observing of him!

miniumize.....
either by his changing of his envirnments...or by of
a changing of his attitudes...he can minimize the
impact of the "negative" aspects of autistic symptoms.
if loud noise bother...he can avoid or wear earplugs!
He can put himself in social areas where only one
thing will clamor for his attention at a time.
teaching him some of the social graces and the
language of person to person non-verbal language...may
help, as he might have to LEARN consciously what we
all[you all!] take for granted, and know from birth
naturally.
often one can only do or think one thing at a time,
like me....and have a very short term memory.
this person should not be a waiter in a restaurant!!
try to make his childhood sheltered in some ways to
keep the stress of copings down. then teach him to be
able to do that for himself: an
example......[speaking for myself]...an image-only
thinker may find that
there should be ONE physical area of his home [maybe
his room] where there should not be ANY change in the
room arrangements over time, down to the MINUTEST
small piece of paper! that outer room will be a
butterfly-wing mirror of his inner image of that
room----changing the outer room will cause a great
conflict within him as now the outer image is in
conflict with his inner image...of that room!! this
room area will be his "security blanket" whenever he
is stressed...he can go there for shelter, if he is
overcome by something in the house, for a few minutes.

yes...you son may have sensory overloads...he may hear
sounds that you may not notice...he may put those
hands over his ears, at a noise that you may think is
a soft sound!

so...above all...do not "put him down", or tell him
that "he should come around", or that "you can tough
it out, a real man should not be bothered by THAT"!!
for in the example above...if he contorts with pain,
holding his hands over his ears, at the sound of ICE
falling into a glass, as if he were being ATTACKED by
a hand grenade...why,
he *IS*!!
for HIM, as severe as that, really really!!
...that sound may be that overwhelming to him on a
real physical level!!
thus, well-meaning people who criticize him for being
so "sensitive"...that may well hurt his self esteem!
would YOU not feel good about yourself if you grew up
in a color-blind family where only you could see
orange and all the other members of the family could
not and they teased you without remorse about your
weird talent!!

too...do not let the "doctor-speak" overwhelm you.
some of those so called experts may know next to
nothing, really!
be careful about drugs...if they help, there is
always the side effects to consider...AND...be aware
that he WOULD be more sensitive to the effects and the
side effects of drugs!

and keep connected , above all, to these here SUPPORT
GROUPS!! get HIM to be a part of them too...if he is
computer functional. why on onelist.com...there is a
list for autistic college students!....

my final but most important advice may be.....
the REAL experts in this...are the parents who have
been there, before you, several years ago...who now
have 15 year old...18 year old..children who have
autism. they have been there and done that...and they
may have very very good advice and consul for you
with a younger child, as they have been though all of
what you are NOW going through!
THEY are the ones that you should get to read about
and to know and to get advice from!!

sigh...i am not a Talented Therapist...and i think
associational only...thus my suggestions are only
hit and miss general suggesstions...i am sorry but my
own way of thinkings get in my way...but i hope that
my suggestions may help a bit!
