Unresponsive - 'zoning' out

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

Has anyone had experience with the phenomenon of 'zoning' out in

certain clients? One of my young (12 years) clients - who was

medically diagnosed with Asperger's and no longer on any medication,

has been doing just this.

The parents say that for the past month or so, this child will

occasionally zone out completely for up to five minutes. There is no

response to any stimuli at all and the return is proceeded by a

shaking of the body. Although this behavior may manifest in some

epileptic children, there is no relation in this case.

Any ideas/thoughts? By the way, this did not occur when the child was

medicated.

Blessings,

Hi ,

I haven't had the experience of clients 'zoning out' as you describe, but I do know that balancing the vagus nerve has a decidedly good influence on epileptics. Tell the mother, if she notices when the child is going into the 'zoning out' state, to get the child to breathe deeply through the nose - this stimulates the vagus nerve too.

Hope this helps.

Blessings

There are many types of seizures, one of them gives this type of response...Have you looked it up at all in the EPFX or checked the brain waves? What kind of levels are they at in the test matrix and in the brain waves?

Yours in Health,

The child is likely going into shutdown which is a typical response of people in the autism spectrum who are experiencing too much stress from a variety of sources: over stimulation from the environment (includes people as well as the objects, etc.), over stimulation from within (medical problems, memories, emotions, physiological responses such as lack of sleep, hunger, thirst, the changes due to puberty, etc.), and boredom (have very busy brains which must be kept busy in order not to be stressed). It is usually a combination of all of this that leads to shutdown. Helping the child avoid shutdown has far more to do with eliminating the causes than actually focusing on the response. The SCIO has been a boon to me as it helps relieve the stimulation from within.

Is this client having seizure activity? This can also cause "zoning out".
