It would be like being totally encased in inflatable splints.” • pg. 59: describes sensation of calf chute • “I had no idea at the time that my sensory experiences were different than those of other people. • “Discrete trial training (Applied Behavioral Analysis) and speech tehrapy are sometimes more effectiv if done while the child is experiencing deep pressure. The calming effect may help the miswired nervous system to perceive speech better.” • rolling a child in mats, putting him under pillows, padded/weighted vests, weighted blankets. • Autism Research Institute in San Diego found the squeeze machine had a calming effect • pressure should never be forced on child or adult with autism • Clip 1: First Experience in Cow Pen (15:29) • Clip 2: Using Squeeze Machine (1:14:05)

  5. Thinking in Pictures • "The problem was, I didn’t know that other people were not visual thinkiers. I just assumed everybdoy thought the same way I did. It wasn’t until I did Thinking in Pictures, one of my other books in the mid-90s and I interviewed people about how they think that I realized other people think differently. And visual thinking is a continuum. Most people have some degree of visual thinking.” -- from the commentary • Clip 3: Thinking in Pictures 45:25 & 52:55 • Clip 4: Cattle plant • pg. 230: Stairway to Heaven
