I read another book by Temple Grandin
she got on better with cattle and horses than people
I think because you can communicate with animals by touch, or stroking
apparently her dad wasnt around much and had a temper.
animals frighten easily and are afraid of humans because we treat them roughly and arent gentle
its hard for them to trust us
I have a hunch that is what happens to babies, soon or just after birth, but thats only a hunch, whether its the nurses or a parent ...and their brains are so fragile. anything rough can easily disconnect the brain when its still growing
plus chemicals in drugs used during pregnancy and labour.
This is because the behaviours of animals in captivity and held in isolation look quite similar to autistic behaviours, eg pacing, stimming, language delay, they dont know who their parents are etc.
parents of autistic children were angry they got labelled refigerator mothers, but nothing was ever said about the fathers. so...? I dont think mothers ought to be blamed, but a closer look needs to be taken at the fathers role in parenting. it seems half the time the dad isnt even there.
we know at Jesus birth Joseph was present the entire time, that Mary did not give birth and raise Jesus alone.
