I have a grandson who has autism. I have some questions... Does a traumatic past life cause a person to come into the world with autism? I also saw on another post someone mention that autistic people "spend half our time ‘across the veil’ in Spirit and half our time ‘in the physical world’. Which I would agree is a great description of how I sense my grandson is dealing with being on this earth at this time. Recently his teacher suggested a weighted vest for him when he becomes overwhelmed and I wonder, if wearing the vest is similiar to when one grounds themselves during meditation? He is an old soul. Since he was around 3 or so, he prefers really old cartoons to current cartoons. He says things that sound so profoundly adult (he is now 8yrs old). I often sense that he is living within his third eye and crown chakra if that makes sense. He is on the spectrum. At first sight, he seems "normal" but upon spending time with him, his autistic characteristics become apparent. He was born with a birthmark around his neck and is terrified of getting his hair wet during bath time. He used to have constant nightmares from age 1 to age 4. I often wonder if some of his issues stem from a past life experience. When he was around 4 years old he began to tell me that I was his real mother. His mother has struggled with being a single mother and raising him alone and was very territorial with him and hearing him say things like that would upset her because she took it as him not wanting her as his mother, so at first I would try to get him to refocus and remind him of who his mother was. Then one day he told me that when he was in the sky, he was waiting for a mommy and that he looked at other mommys and didnt like them. Then he waited some more, saw his current mommy and didnt like her that much either but then saw his grandmother (me) and really liked her and decided to come down because of how much he liked me! I have to say, my grandson and I have a very close bond and after much reassurance to his mother that I wasnt trying to take her place, she has accepted our close relationship and the many times when he has requested spending time alone with me. I have 2 adult kids, but I have had 3 previous pregnancies that didnt come to full term. I have often felt that my grandson was one of those children I wasnt able to keep. I have never told anyone this but it's almost like he himself knows! Thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful place of incredible, like minded people!!
Where does autism have a place in reincarnation?

Welcome, Justmeg. I'm glad you found us. There are no certain answers to your question, but there are certainly cases out there that reflect the things you mention. It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your grandchild, they are special people in our lives. I would recommend you read our sponsor, Carol Bowman's books on children's past lives. They would offer some insight from a very gifted expert on the subject. Dr. Brian Weiss has also written some good books on the subject. Many blessings to you and your grandson. ~Tman
