Guest guest Posted February 2, 1998 Report Share Posted February 2, 1998 Pete, et al. I've been following this trend and description and what immediately jumped out at me is these are also characteristics of many of the Asperger's clients I have worked with. Pete, what do you mean by the "disconnect pattern"? Are you referring to the Borderline like behavior where the person is emotionally tweaked and shifts into a "right-brain" overarroused response? One Asperger adult I had Qeeg on showed normal patterns until an emotional challenge was presented. Had this not been done,he would have looked normal. The emotional challenge produced immediate changes. I am not trying to steer this conversation off to Asperger's but the similarities are too great for me to ignore. Rosemary M.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Well, since most of these sound like Tone issues, especially related to the diconnect strategy, then perhaps low activation in the left temporal lobe is simply the obverse side of higher activation in the right temporal lobe, which would be consistent with the disconnect pattern.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 What would be a good protocal for this type of ADD, it sounds like something I might have. Thanks, Bob RE: Revised Training Categories No, he is talking about clients with anger issues which show up as having dramatically reduced activity in the left temperal lobe.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Bob, I don't use the term ADD any more than absolutely necessary. It is so broad as to be almost meaningless--rather like saying, "we're having soup for dinner." It's technically accurate but not very descriptive. Tone issues relate to emotional stress buiding over a significant period of time and resulting in disruptions of the autonomically-mediated functions of the body as well as relatively ongoing levels of anxiety or depression.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Rosemary, My posting 2139 last Tuesday on this list described the revisions to the categories for training including the "Disconnect" strategy. Borderlines certainly could fall into this pattern, as do many clients who have dissociative characteristics resulting from early abuse histories. The EEG pattern of significantly higher right temporal high-beta activation than left. That would certainly be triggered by anything that pushed an "emotional" button. Aspergers clients often seem more to use the blocking strategy, the obsessive and compulsive characteristics, than this dissociative one, but I've only worked with maybe a half-dozen of them.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Ok, assume I didn't use the term ADD. What is the protocal for this list of ailments?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 However, the higher the blood flow, the higher the activation frequencies. Faster firing rates require more oxygen and glucose, which requires more blood.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Bob, If you have a significant (2X or more) differential between high beta readings at T4 (higher) and T3, then I would train down highbeta between T3/T4 and train up activity starting at 12-15 Hz but reducing the frequency range in 5-minute intervals (e.g. after 5 minutes try 11-14Hz) until you find a frequency where you feel a "release" or something positive.
