"Defective", in need of "cure", "a challenge", "the emotional toll", "the cost of autism." He also talked about ensuring autistic children feel safe and respected which frankly can't be done when you believe they are also defective.As other reviewers have stated, this book was dry, boring, deeply ableist, and made many oversimplifications and generalizations. It is painfully, and I mean painfully repetitive. The first 50% of the book could have easily been cut in half. It often seemed as if each chapter was written to stand alone, often full sentences were repeated from one chapter to the next. reading Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism I’m not well enough to do the exercises for ANS regulation, so I can’t attest to those, although I know many have benefited from them.

In physical therapy school we learned that some tests are what my professor called subjectively objective. This means that even though the test seems to qualify as objective, there is a good probability of the introduction of experimenter bias. For many years Stanley Rosenberg has run a school in Denmark, teaching structural integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical cranio-sacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity.Stanley Rosenberg is an American-born author and body therapist. A practicing cranio-sacral therapist since 1987 and a Rolfer since 1983, he studied biomechanical cranio-sacral for many years under Alain Gehin, trained in cranio-sacral at the Upledger Institute and in biodynamic cranio-sacral with Georgia Milne, studied the treatment of children with Benjamin Shield, and took courses in osteopathy with Jean Pierre Barral. Following a detailed explanation of the cranial nerves, the polyvagal theory, and how craniosacral therapy can assist with restoring proper neuroception, Rosenberg provides self-help exercises to test ventral vagal function and to improve the function of the cranial nerves. This book is great for understanding the anatomical and physiological aspects of the vagus nerve. It helped me grasp the differences between the dorsal and ventral vagus in ways that I could explain to my patients. It also provided some details that were not discussed by other books. For example, the hybrid forms that integrate both dorsal and ventral and definitely impact our behavior/emotions.
