Reflex Arc
The “Reflect Arc” is responsible for the proper functioning of digestive, motor & visual sensory reflexes.
Auditory Pathway
The “Auditory Pathway” accounts for the baseline physics of human sensory integration with the external environment, as well as our sense of “Proprioception”.
Autism
The failure at birth to innervate these two reflexive sensory pathways results in the entire spectrum of autistic symptoms. Autism is a communication disorder that begins as a neurological sensory deficit.
The Entire Spectrum of Autistic Symptoms Originates from Failure to Innervate the "Reflex Arc" & "Auditory Pathway" At Birth
Fetuses are mostly oblivious to outside world
Birth Is A Radical Change In Environment
Reflexive processes must be initiated AFTER birth. Failure or deficiency results in a serious neurological sensory deficit.
In the womb a baby does not use its own digestive tract or lungs. However upon birth the infant can no longer depend on its mother for caloric sustenance or oxygen and must be stimulated to begin taking control of these biological processes. The process of sensory integration with the external environment must also be initiated. A physical stimulus along with the baby’s cry provides the initial synchronization for sensory integration.
- Auditory Pathway innervated
- Sensory integration initiated
- Gastrocolic reflexes triggered
- Proprioception triggered
- Vestibulo-ocular reflex triggered
- Peristalsis & Sphincter Control activated
- Spatial orientation initiated
Paddling Is Only Meant To Startle The Baby Into Its First Audition
Physical Stimulus At Birth Activates Reflexive Response To External Stimuli
Reflexes synapse at the spine for faster, “instinctive” response time.
Without motor reflexes a human baby cannot function properly, much less survive in the unforgiving external environment. The motor reflexes that deal with the threat of noxious external stimuli such as hot or sharp objects, or the sensation of falling, are typically triggered at birth by the baby experiencing the natural shock of being born. However some babies experience a more gentle birth and so require extra stimulus to ensure proper postnatal innervation of the reflex arc.
- Gastrocolic reflexes
- Peristalsis & Sphincter Control
Feeding Requires Multiple Motor And Digestive Reflexes For Proper Function
Autistic babies are notoriously fussy eaters, and experience chronic digestive issues through lack of proper reflexive action in digestive tract.
The bodily processes of the digestive tract depend on smooth muscle control, which unlike “voluntary” skeletal muscle, is not consciously controlled. The muscular movement of the esophagus (peristalsis), the function of intestines in digesting food, removing waste, and fighting bacterial infection, are all controlled by involuntary, reflexive processes.
A Crying Newborn Is A Sign Of A Healthy Baby
Proprioceptors Sync With Inner Ear, Initiating Reflexive Response To External Stimuli Beginning With Touch & Audition
The auditory pathway is the first step in sensory integration with the external environment. The workings of the inner ear represent the synchronization of biology with physics.
The baby’s cry begins the process of postnatal innervation of the auditory pathway. Along this path of initial neural innervation, the membranes of the inner ear become innervated, while syncing with similar mechanoreceptors in the limbs. This is the basis for the human sense of “proprioception”.
Hearing & Vocalization Function As The Baseline For Human Sensory Integration
Soundwaves provide the only repetitive (thus predictable), physical analog feedback loop upon which an infant can begin to learn about the physical environment.

The Removal Of Traditional Birthing Practices Has Proven Disastrous
Beginning in the mid-90s, “progressive” hospitals began opting to gently suck the mucus out of a baby’s lungs at birth instead of paddling its bottom to induce its cry. The use of venipuncture at birth was also banned, and circumcision rates around the world have plummeted. These overly genteel policies have handicapped infants at risk of a deficiency of postnatal neural innervation.
