What is your opinions if you know:
FOUR FACTORS THAT DETERMINE AUTISM, DEPRESSION, ADHD AND ALL HEALTH PROBLEMS.You, your family, your countries, whole society is the evolution of the material interdependent world. Best for development is love, connection, kindness. How about any fightings? Western countries do not die of poor and hunger, but they died because rich, abunce with discontent mind. They spend half their money for weapons to find safe and certainty. Them luxury house, car, products, gaged, phones to find the feeling of certainty, significance, importance. Another billion $ on medicine with hope of having good sleep , temporary relief, or fake happiness. Root is they are treating with anger, greed, and ignorance. The ones who suffer most are fragile forming children and millions victims. If treating each other with kindness, virtues they can help all.Think of this:Part I: Reasons of human problems
1. Unconditional love:
2. Connection: people, animal, diversified nature, understanding with parents.
3. Unstressed environment: happy, warm, cheering; then make them have the feeling of safety, certainty to work, try, play, do and fail... they have more skill and abilities to deal with the needed problems, challenge in life
4. Ability to deal with fact of life - the fact that some people may think is big threat, problems, or danger.
- The combination of the varieties of these for factors create the varieties in health problems: ADHD, rainbow autism, with many other symptoms in gastric, intestine, heart and ...describe in side effects of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisone in medical books.
- The combination of these four factors describe the big different in boy and girls in autism, ADHD: the instinct of female make infant, the cute make girl do not get problems.
Simple breathing meditation helps children better than medication in ADHD and Autism. Father said: “the day autistic child happy he will less over-react than stressful day.”
If gen, food, chemical or ... there will be have the same percentage of boy and girls, city and countryside.
With normal development, 2-3 months old children have the responses, interested, pay attention to the talking and smile back, shaking hands and body when parents talk direct to them. Do this regularly, you if you see the signs of not paying attention or indifference: the early signs of stress, overtime children may get more severe problems in brain and mental problems. Observe the pattern of sleeping, eating, crying, and emotion to realize early signs since 1-2-3 months old to have early simple intervention.
You should pay attention to provide more love, peaceful environment, sing, dance, play music with joy, create the natural energy of the young for kid, not the stupid quiet, silence and too much tidy of the nursery home, you are peace of mind to kiss,hug, embrace, chances of creating abilities, and more connection to the diversity of nature, animal and real fruit.
The variation of these for factors and the combination of them are the answer for all problems that scientists do not pay attention:
- In ADHD, Autism: boy much more than girls because Girls from the instinct are more cute, more communicable than boys.
- ADHD, Autism in city is significantly higher than in countryside, even the city have better standard of living, eating,.. but they lack of connection, freely play, learn from nature and other kids. Children in have more abilities to adapt with stress than in city. But they got another stress, problems.
- Dogs, cats can create the contact with kids and help autistic kids
- Scientists see that Oxytocin can help autistic child, they are doing more research to carry it on autistic child in the future.
- Children in orphanage may have enough food, protection and less stress but they lack of love, intimate connection with parents so most of them have problems with social skills.
- Because of stress, lacking skill, if wrong and poor intervention, kids may develop many other diseases: depression, psychotic problems, ... that we do not know why.
- How about, why strong, successful millionaires commit suicide. Put on them the pressure of work, the burden of losing $ 10 million $ contract, then the hate, angry of spouse, the indifference of relatives, stress from boring stressful wok, they may have discontented mind, they bear the stress alone. They chose drugs, addiction, alcohol, suicide as the way of escaping.
- The variation of these parts plus with the right intervention make the varieties in the outcomes or the rainbow of Autism.
- They are in stress, they over-react with small minor stimulator as the most adults, students, parents, leaders, and Ceo react in when they are in pressure, stress: breaking, kicking, shouting, rebelling, or killing. If late in help them, they got more other problems in health, mental: depression or ....
Trust me, Kids can learn all difficult things, master difficult skills: walking, talking English, talking Chinese, Japanese, riding, and countless skill that even a monkey can do that we can call Genius monkey.
How much need children love can be seen in these video on Youtube: reactions of baby kid when parents come home.
They love parents crazily but parent may hurt them indirectly or directly, accidently or intentionally. How and why belong to the character of the mind: the illusive mind, ignorant mind.
Part II:
How and why these four factors make this?
The world is spending half of it money: $ thousand billions on buying weapon for finding safety, certainty or peace. Then they spend $ thousand billions on medicine, luxury products, cars, villas for find the feeling of significance, recognition, importance, and they spend other $ trillions on medication, drug with the hope of sleeping well, relaxing, relieving, and enjoying the artificial comfort and happiness???
A stress moment can kill a student.
A stress moment can kill a banker
A stress moment can kill a CEO
A stress moment can kill a politician
They are strong but the severe stress moment can have affect all their life. It embed in their brain, cell, organ that we do not consciously know but the subconscious mind know that moment: smell, sound, noise, invisible signal then create the conditioned responses to it.
You see
Soldiers in ended 1950 are still under stress with any mild unwanted triggers.
Language, religions, accent, belief, behaviors, rituals, religions and funeral religions are the conditioned responses: you, your friend and partners have big differences in these: Will you dare to try to change with other people to enjoy their belief, rituals, and religions. Even the name of you and your dogs are results of Conditioned responses with languages. You like all of these because you have been conditioned, not because you like and chose these. The process of conditioning are so well and silently that you may illusively think you have the Ego,... You may die or sacrifice for the adopted assumption, belief, and religions. People are so ignorant that people in one family, community, region, district, class, city, countries are fighting for the changing opinions.
Value of character: the kind of conditioned responses
Discontented men react to good unwanted things discontentedly. "Discontented men may shouting when seeing thorn in the bushes of roses."
Contented men conditioned responses to response contentedly to any unwanted things, problems, and challenges. "Contented men happy, joyful and hope when seeing a rose in the bushes of thorns."
Value of character, adjective of character: Discontented men react to good unwanted things discontentedly. Contented men conditioned responses to response contentedly to any unwanted things, problems, and challenges. He is ADJECTIVE character means he conditioned ADJECTIVE responses or he responses to things adjectively.
Worst of all, he is intelligent but corrupt, means he finish well the corrupt works intelligent that no one until hundred years later.
Seeing a girl with college education screaming and running away when seeing a cockroach I understand the useless of knowing, or formal education. Seeing a small brave girl ready to fight with a thief, a dog to protect her friends and understand the value of characters.
"No disabilities, no mental illness, no murderer are born. Only healthy babies, all doctors, physicians and medical test said that. Only angel babies are born, all parents, adults said that"
But
They live in stress, eat in fear, sleep in anxiety, playing in boring safe side, wear luxury clothes in discontentment, study with pressure, and sexing with contempt. They never find the real joy, happiness.Stress chemical: Adrenalin, noradrenalin, and cortisone. And happy chemicals: Endorphin, Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin; these chemical secreted in the body according to state of mind. If an individual changes the state of mind, they may change the chemical in body. Chronic Stress people may get serious side effect of Stress chemicals. List the effects, and side effects on the medical books we know the results of stress on the body.
- Effects of Adrenalin: Sweating, Nausea and vomiting, Pale skin, Feeling short of breath, Dizziness, Weakness or tremors, Headache, Feeling of nervousness or anxiousness,
- Effects of Norepinephrine: Pain, burning, Numbness, weakness, or cold, Slow or uneven heart rate, Trouble breathing, Vision, speech, or balance difficulties, Blue lips or fingernails, Spotted skin
- Less serious side effects Cortisol: Acne, dry skin, or thinning skin, Bruising or discoloration of skin, Insomnia, Mood changes, Increased sweating, Headache, Dizziness, Nausea, stomach pain,
- Serious side effects cortisol: Vision problems, Swelling, Rapid weight gain, Shortness of breath, Severe depression or unusual thoughts or behaviors, Seizures, Bloody or tarry stools, Coughing up blood, Symptoms of pancreatitis: pain in your upper stomach that spreads to your back; nausea and vomiting; or fast heart rate.
Because of me, because of you I always enjoy these chemicals in eating, receiving, getting, giving, sleeping and enjoying.
"Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid"
-Kelly Clarkson: because of you-
- Happy kids are free to play, do, try, fail and have unconditioned support. "They are safe to work"
- Stressed kids are so fear that they have to play in safe, learn in clean, walk in trail, and never fail. They have to bury the instinct nature inside: "They have to work to safe"
"All on one
One in all
Children is family
Family is nation
Nation is the world"
Dopamine: get a goal, finish a task, and achieve a purpose, finish a a job, win lottery: gambling, betting. Get hits, like or good comment on Facebook, Get good grade. When you find a big bargain in a buying, your purple widen. Excessive dopamine can increase the heartbeat, ventricular arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, ectopic heartbeats, Tachycardia, angina, palpitation, bradycardia, vasoconstriction, hypotension, hypertension, shaking or collapsing are listed on all pharmacology books.
When you are joyful or excited, you have Piloerection, Nausea, vomiting, Anxiety, Mydriasis – caused by dopamine.
- Endorphin: is the reward of labor.
- Serotonin: comes when you get close contact: skin to skin, kis, hugs, embracing, intimating acts. Or the feeling of belonging and significant. Dogs can make the owner have this feelings. When doing good, kind, and helping others. An act of goodness: the doer, the receiver and the watcher will have the feeling caused by this.
Dopamin and Serotonin is the chemical that all psychic medication used to increase in patients. All medications for depression aim at increasing these.
Lastly, chemical is oxytocin: sex, love, skin contact, and giving birth are high in this.
Scientists find that oxytocin may help autistic mice. they will do more research in future to apply on autistic child. They do not know that these happy chemicals are secreted when they treat well with each other with love, close contact, connection, supporting and trusting.
Using smart watches to know the emotion, thinking of people is the good suggestion by observing physical figures: heartbeat, blood pressure during the days, events, years and important Missions.
When people can sense the changes in the body with these chemicals- it called Gut Feelings: tighten muscle, throbbing in head muscle, sweating or chill. It is there even we consciously know it or not as conditioned response with the environment
How about fragile kid who is forming the immature brain in stress. Best of all is calm stress down by mindmastering meditation.

Look at the teaching of Lao Tzu
1. Tao and Primal Virtue:
All things arise from Tao.
They are nourished by Virtue.
They are formed from matter.
They are shaped by environment
Thus the ten thousand things all respect Tao and honor Virtue.
Respect of Tao and honor of Virtue are not demanded,
But they are in the nature of things.
Therefore all things arise from Tao
By Virtue they are nourished,
Developed, cared for,
Sheltered, comforted,
Grown, and protected.
Creating without claiming,
Doing without taking credit,
Guiding without interfering,
This is Primal Virtue. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
2. Rule a nation with justice.
Wage war with surprise moves.
Become master of the universe without striving.
How do I know that this is so?
Because of:
The more laws and restrictions there are,
The poorer people become.
The sharper men's weapons,
The more trouble in the land.
The more ingenious and clever men are,
The more strange things happen.
The more rules and regulations,
The more thieves and robbers.
Therefore the sage says:
I take no action and people are reformed.
I enjoy peace and people become honest.
I do nothing and people become rich.
I have no desires and people return to the good and simple life. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
3. Practice non-action.
Work without doing.
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small, increase the few.
Reward bitterness with care.
See simplicity in the complicated.
Achieve greatness in little things.
In the universe the difficult things are done as if they are easy.
Great acts are made up of small deeds.
The sage does not attempt anything big,
And thus achieved greatness.
Easy promises make for little trust.
Taking things lightly results in great difficulty.
Because the sage always confronts difficulties,
He never experiences them. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
4. Peace is easily maintained;
Trouble is easily overcome before it starts.
The brittle is easily shattered;
The small is easily scattered.
Deal with it before it happens.
Set things in order before there is confusion.
A tree as great as a man's embrace springs up from a small shoot;
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one footstep.
He who acts defeats his own purpose;
Try to change it, ruin it.
Try to hold it, lose it.
The sage does not act, and so is not defeated.
He does not grasp and therefore does not lose.
People usually fail when they are on the verge of success.
So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.
Therefore, the sage seeks freedom from desire.
He does not collect precious things.
He learns not to hold on to ideas.
He brings men back to what they have lost.
He help the ten thousand things find their own nature,
But refrains from action. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
5. The good
A good soldier is not violent.
A good fighter is not angry.
A good winner is not vengeful
A good employer is humble.
This is the Virtue of not striving.
This is the ability to deal with people.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
6. Paradoxes of more
Too many colors blind the eye.
Too many words deafen the ear.
Too many flavors dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Precious things lead one astray.
Greed will destroy them.
I have three things to teach
Simplicity, patience and compassion
Simplicity, patience, and compassion
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
You accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
You reconcile all beings in the world.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
7. Knowledge and humility
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others is strength;
Mastering yourself is true power.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
8. Ridiculous aimless
Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
Avoid what others avoid
Fight what others fight
Die what other die?
How ridiculous!
Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.
Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.
Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp;
I alone am dull.
Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.
I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.
9. Embracing Tao, embracing love
Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Guiding without interfering,
This is love. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
10. Unknown primal
Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
11. Desire and peace
When there is no desire,
All things are at peace.
Hope and fear are both phantoms
That arises from thinking of the self.
When we don't see the self as self,
What do we have to fear?
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
12. Paradoxes of in and out, visible and invisible
True words aren't eloquent;
Eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
Men who need to prove their point aren't wise.
The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
The happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
The wealthier he is.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
13. Look inside the heart
My teachings are easy to understand
And easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
And if you try to practice them, you'll fail.
My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?
If you want to know me,
Look inside your heart.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
14. Aimless and purposeless
A good traveler has no fixed plans
And is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
Lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
And keeps his mind open to what is.
Thus the Master is available to all people
And doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
And doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.
What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
In grief and joy, losing and gaining, past and future.
However intelligent you are!
It is the great secret.
He who stands on tiptoe
Doesn't stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
Doesn't go far.
He who tries to shine
Dims his own light.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
15. Non-desire, unlearn, but Tao
He who defines himself
Can't know who he really is.
He who has power over others
Can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
Will create nothing that endures.
If you want to accord with the Tao,
Just do your job, then let go.
Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
You ruin what was almost ripe.
Therefore the Master takes action
By letting things take their course.
He remains as calm at the end
As at the beginning.
He has nothing,
Thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
What he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
Of who they have always been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.
Not-knowing is true knowledge.
Presuming to know is a disease.
First realize that you are sick;
Then you can move toward health. \
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
16. What to improve, what to change?
Do you want to improve the world?
I don't think it can be done.
The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.
There is a time for being ahead,
A time for being behind;
A time for being in motion,
A time for being at rest;
A time for being vigorous,
A time for being exhausted;
A time for being safe,
A time for being in danger.
The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
And resides at the center of the circle.
A great nation is like a great man
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
As his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
As the shadow that he himself casts.
Failure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
There is no end to the blame.
Therefore the Master
Fulfill her own obligations
And corrects her own mistakes.
She does what she needs to do
And demands nothing of others.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
17. Paradoxes of true
True perfection seems imperfect,
Yet it is perfectly itself.
True fullness seems empty,
Yet it is fully present.
True straightness seems crooked.
True wisdom seems foolish.
True art seems artless. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
A good soldier is not violent.
A good fighter is not angry.
A good winner is not vengeful
A good employer is humble.
This is the Virtue of not striving.
This is the ability to deal with people.
