Re: High-functioning autistic five-year-old reportedly showing signs of telepathy (article)

Often, he would become stressed and hit himself so hard that I'd run across the playground and gently take his hand to stop him.
Then he took to isolating himself on an upper veranda (which was duly made safer) and again I'd see him hitting himself. Not really able to leave my "post", I decided to try an experiment and started to send him soothing, loving thoughts every time I'd see him this way and, it seemed to me at least, he'd calm down.
Then, one day, we were having a year meeting and the kids had to sit on the carpeted floor. This kind of change in routine was difficult for him and, when I saw him against the wall, I decided to go sit with him. Again, I focused on sending soothing, loving thoughts and he began to shift his body a little closer and angle towards me. A passing teacher commented (kind of condescendingly towards him, I guess) "Ma'am, he's really taken a liking to you."
At the end of year 10, his parents sent him somewhere else for his education, which I believe was in his best interest.
Hi Beekeeper,
That comment from the teacher is so revealing about her inner, she is carrying around so much pain that she need to see someone being hurt or kept outside to cope with her pain, she can not show real compassion before she has healed her own pain, and this is the big issue in our society today, so much hurt and pain not freed and healed in us, it takes currage to face your own inner and free it.
Thank you for this so clear story of how it is in our society.
Love
