HUMAN BEHAVIORAL SPECTRUM—Autism/Normal/ADHD
Everything is connected…
What follows is what we believe are a number of unproven, but verifiable assumptions about how variations in our genetic structure could impact how in early childhood development the brain self-organizes our relationship to the world around us.
If we feel safe or unsafe when moving through space, how we think and respond to events reflects our level of anxiety relative to motion. We also are assuming that an individual’s biological relationship to gravity, stable or unstable, safe or unsafe, has a major influence on how learning to move impacts neurological development in early childhood.
The learning process may also establish the size of the world in which we live. If we hide, we hide in a small world, if we run, we run and explore a much larger world...with the size determined by how fast we run, and
how safe we feel when running.

The above rings help demonstrate the size of the world each of us live in, with the size determined by patterns of positive 01 and negative 10 neurological responses we experience relative to motion during early childhood development.
What we are essentially doing is introducing the idea that the size of the world each of us organizes and spends most of our time in, is the product of how safe we feel when moving through space.
The ring diagram mirrors these patterns.
Autistic kids live in or near the inner circle and research has shown a high percentage of children dealing with autism have poor balancing skills. The diameter of the circle represents the area our brains can effectively organize, with the size of the area relative to how effectively we organize sensory information.
If we struggle with our sense of balance, our senses collect inaccurate, fuzzy or confusing data. This affects our ability to organize information, and this in turn reduces the ability of our GPS to map our
relationships to what is around us.
To compensate, we stay in areas closer to home, or function in a world nearer or not far from our biological center and repeat patterns of movements. We travel the same routes and establish routines, rarely
changing, and if change is forced upon us we become agitated and nervous. This type of behavior is typical of persons with 10 behavioral tendencies.
Individuals with a stable relationship to gravity organize sensory inputs rapidly and accurately. The world we organize often goes beyond what we can see. We often appear to be disorganized and tend to be impulsive.
These types of behaviors are typical of individuals with 01 behavioral tendencies. The size of the world their GPS maps, again reflects how effectively they organize and use sensory information to interact with the world around them.

Genetically we all have the capacity to self organize our relationships with what is around us, each in our own way, each reflecting genetic makeup. How we think may be the result of a natural biological process we all experience....therefore, there is no "good or bad" or "better" value intended in what is presented here. This
work places no additional value on any behavior that comes into existence as the result of our individual "dances with gravity".
Each has its own value relative to the whole of the human experience. Each provides a perspective on how to best deal with a problem...and the problem for each of us, individually and as a whole, is how to best sustain life.
We believe studies can verify the above assumptions.
