A further thought: Whilhelm Reich’s concept of “armoring” is relevant and worth exploring for those interested. Here’s the first article I could find about it (no idea if it’s the best): https://www.somatopia.com/blog/the-art-of-letting-go-why-reichian-character-armor-is-worth-dismantling https://www.somatopia.com/blog/the-art-of-letting-go-why-rei... One of my practitioners, who I see every 2-3 months, specializes in releasing “armor” from the body with a specific massage technique. I can easily believe that in many cases where someone is considered to be moderately-ASD, that it’s a case of this kind of armoring. This is not to say there is no physiological or genetic component, but that the trauma and armoring is a significant factor in the expression of the condition.
