Head Banging | Ear Slapping | Behavior Characteristics Of Autism
As a researcher and autistic survivor, I can state that children with autism can hear sounds above the average person hearing range. Although high pitch sounds cannot be heard normally, to an autistic child these sounds can cause intense inner ear pain.
In an effort to stop this inner ear pain, the autistic child will cover or slap their ears or in severe cases bang their head against a wall to knock out the pain.
Since Genet wasn’t able to verbalize that his ears hurt, his parents didn’t know he was in pain.
“I was isolated in my own world where this pain existed. I saw the world from the inside out. I was not able to cross over to a proper reality.” Genet has surmised that this self isolation was caused by the inability for his brain to ground to its physical body.
As Genet explains it, “My brain’s inability to ground to its physical body didn’t allow me to complete the pathway or circuit into a normal reality. In the world I lived in, I spoke properly, maintained mental focus, emotional balance and occasionally felt this inner ear pain.
In a normal reality, people can filter out these sounds, protecting them from this intense inner ear pain. I could not. ” I wasn’t able to travel back and forth between a normal reality and the only reality I knew, due to this lack of grounding. I wasn’t able to create any mental, emotional or physical filters that would protect me from these high pitch sounds.
According to Genet there are two causes why his brain could not ground to its physical body:
1) The chemical reaction caused by vaccination preservative’s that seem to distort the brain’s ability to form proper brain wave frequencies needed for this grounding to occur.
2) Things at home, out in a mall, florescent lighting, microwave ovens, TV’s, computers, electronic equipment, flying in airplanes and driving in a car. The electro magnetic fields of energy interferes with the brain’s circuitry.
Most autistic behavior is usually diagnosed as acting out or being rebellious. As you have learned here, when a child does act in this way, slapping his ears or banging the head against a wall, it’s a 98% chance your child is in intense pain.
