This is interesting to me. I breed racehorses and sometimes a baby can be born “maladjusted” which was previously thought to be caused by a reduction in oxygen going to the baby during delivery. The baby can often “star gaze”, won’t be able to nurse properly, sometimes have trouble getting up on their feet, have no interest in their mother etc. Well one of the new ways in which you can treat these maladjusted foals (before it was fluids, dmso, anti inflammatories) is you put a soft rope going around the body of the foal in like a harness pattern, and then you pull the rope putting tension around the foal. This causes the foal to automatically go down and go into a dream-like state. You keep the tension on for ~20 minutes (the amount of time the baby would usually be in the birth canal). The whole time the baby is in a deep sleep. After 20 minutes you release the tension and the foal wakes up right away, and from what I have seen they get up to their feet even when they previously had problems doing so. It is basically like a reset switch on their brain. Now where this relates to autism: The vet that developed this technique says that the maladjusted foals are not born that way due to a reduction in oxygen, but actually something called neurosteroids. During pregnancy there is a group of neurosteroids that esentially keep the foal quiet while in utero. A foal trying to move too much in utero would be fatal to the mare. Their research has shown that these neurosteroids are at a much higher level after birth in these maladjusted foals. It also shows that it is much more common in foals born via c-section. These foals have to go from being quiet and not moving, to being able to get up on their feet within an hour of birth, be able to nurse within two hours, and be able to run shortly after that. This vet hypothesized that it is the pressure during the vaginal delivery that sends a signal to no longer produce this neurosteroid in the foal. He also hypot
