Autism, ADHD and Spirituality:
What are Sensitive Children Telling Us?
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
Some sources say children with autism and ADHD are on the
rise, while others believe the number of people diagnosed has increased
dramatically since the 1960s, at least partly due to changes in diagnostic
practice. In the developed countries the number of children diagnosed with
autism more than doubled between 2000 and 2017.
Purported causes of autism range from risk factors
during pregnancy – such as rubella, toxins, alcohol, cocaine, pesticides and
air pollution, – to postpartum influences, such as vaccines.
Treatments vary from speech therapy or behavioral
interventions to antidepressants and Ritalin. Yet in all our study and
intervention of ADHD and autism, the spiritual or energetic component has been
virtually ignored.
Why this rise in hypersensitive children? What can we
learn about energy and spirituality from them? How can a better understanding
of the spiritual or energetic components involved help us better appreciate and
support them?
With us this hour to explore this controversial topic is
