| The high rates of autism in Somalian immigrants is one of the observations behind my hypothesis about transgenerational trauma. As the mothers of the autistic children would have suffered a great deal of stress over conflict and relocation to another country. https://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic... |

It's hard to say what the cause is, but I agree that she might benefit from CBT.
Does she have insight into the irrational nature of some of these beliefs?
If she has no insight it will be harder to break out of them, I think. |

I do think that some of the information I have read on stigma may be out of date, and things may be changing rapidly, and your reply suggests that may be so. One thing I ... |

Quote: Generational trauma isn’t real.
You seem very certain of that. How can you be sure?
To clarify, I'm not saying people can inherit PTSD. It's more about inheriting epigentic changes that get switched on by PTSD. |

Which you are.
See? Even I'm getting confused.  |

I've put myself on a liquid diet to try and clear up gut issues.
Lots of broth from meat and veggies, some fruit juice, milk.
I hadn't intended including milk but got so hungry.
I think this kind of diet is only OK for 3-5 days max. as it doesn't provide enough nutrients. Bit of a last resort. |

It is a huge problem for those of us on the spectrum that medical professionals may not understand how we present when suffering health issues. |

I looked up about pogroms and we can count those. Displacement due to violence.
It's shocking how much hatred there was towards Jews for such a long time. |

I think the radiation blew westwards (?) |
