...As a teenager, Temple observed cattle being branded in a squeeze chute at a relative's farm and noticed that they immediately calmed down after pressure was administered to them in the chute. Temple reasoned that the deep pressure from the chute led to an overall calming effect and thought it might be able to settle her 'over-stimulated nerves.' She then built her own device which is referred to as the 'Hug Box,' the 'Hug Machine', the 'Squeeze Machine,' or the 'Squeeze Box.' Temple still uses her 'Hug Box' on a regular basis to provide her the necessary deep pressure to cope with her anxiety...

This should be of interest to some of the Phora's aspies.

Her latest (I think is it) book is EXCELLENT!!! Called Animals in Translation, it's just wonderful -- fascinating reading; she ties (very persuasively) her own autism (and autism in general) to animals' ways of processing sensory data; it's very well written (she has a really good ghost writer!) and fun to read!

Her device seems to be the female equivalent of bench press equipment. IF she had a male physiology which could respond back to physical pressure, she could get the same result from bench presses or much weight training equipment.

The aspie brain is just an extreme male brain. So shes devised a way for the female body to deal with that.

Cohen did a lot of research about abpbergers being an "extreme male brain" , I found it quite convincing myself.
Looks to me that it might be simulating a journey down the birth canal causing an autonomous relaxion response.At a guess at least.

There is evidence to back it up. Mercury poisoning, a major player in autism, impairs cortical white matter in the same manner as testosterone.

That would seem to endorse the theory that the modern explosion in Autism is mainly due to mercury based vaccines.

My take is that some of have a genetic predisposition developing on our natural levels of neuroimmunity, and also there is the idea that only the kids who got the last jag from the bottle contracted the illness due to thimerosol falling to the bottom and accumulating.

I have two cousins and little brother with full blown autism. they are from either side of the family and late teens now. There isnt any history of any relative having autism previously, ever through centuries or anybody developing it now.

The coverup is the biggest scandal. Considering it exposed more kids. I tried to go through the board of merck and see if jewish greed would go that far. Not the case. I found one jewish name out of a dozen. Or could that be a coverup ? tell me..Surprised really. I thought jews were in there where all the big money is.

if i'm right, looks like all toadys great evil iin america cannot be attributed to jews.

I'm sorry to hear about Autism's toll on your family. As for big Jews, you should look at Eli Lilly in America and (former?) CEO Sidney Taurel's relationship with the Bush White House, the Council on Homeland Security and The Patriot Act. That's not to say the epidemic is his fault alone, but he has played a key part in the cover-up, as has Bush Sr. and Jr.
