Part 2: Excitation / Inhibition Imbalance with Autism and Metabolic "Bank" Account and Demands, and Background Biology From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism
-
- Social Sciences
In Part 2 of the Excitation and Inhibition phenomena, we discuss Metabolic "bank" account and demands of navigating the social world. We discuss if we have enough resources or if we will run a metabolic deficits (think burnout and avoidance, and social isolation). We cover NMDA and AMPA and different Autistic Phenotypes. In addition, we review Neuromodulators, which are vast in our biology and determine how and where to direct our attention and energy. Lastly, we discuss the medial Prefrontal Cortex and how it integrates the "self" with the outside world.
Don't try to change an Autistic person because they are different than you or different than others. Don't let that offend your beliefs and capacity to apply critical thinking in life.
