After the lockdown ...

Also the greater neuroplasticity of youth may even amplify the effects of any potentially ASD-inducing experiences, by allowing more complex connection webs to form than if those experiences were had later in life.

Plus, to your point, the younger you are, the less likely you are to have a psychological frame of reference for what a healthy social state feels like, and thus wouldn't be aware of any movement "away" from such a state.

If the talk of 'brain plasticity' is true then it may also mean that lockdown kids will be able to bounce back pretty quickly once they're out of the lockdown environment.
From what I understand, I'm under the impression that neuroplasticity is a sound concept, and that by and large it can be understood as a proxy for learning potential, in a largely primeval and non-conscious sense of the word "learning", like how dogs learn that the sound of a car arriving in the driveway is followed by the arrival of a human, IE an amalgamation of sensory signals, memories, outgoing motor and chemical signals - all of which would take the form of neuronal "engrams" or states of neuronal/nervous activity, I suppose. This is how I'm starting to phenotypically understand the mind.

I think neuroplasticity refers to the potential for neurons to make connections with each other, IE the level of connective plasticity of the brain, and that this potential diminishes or perhaps becomes more regionally confined as the organism ages.

Plus, I get the sense that therapy doesn't generally tend to go to these radical depths, but I don't know.


asd’s I have no clinical working knowledge of or practice to apply to beyond pers experience with a mate, controversial field overall and overtly medicalised, to qualitatively calculate need requires a scale and you’re instantly into interpretation and bureaucracy - people make careers out of parasitically latching in all kinds of areas

with opiates and benzo combination drug abuse you see far more acute and untreated psychosis - acute paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar off/on/off meds where meds aren’t supervised or have proven ineffective and heightened delusional states - a mix of repetitive trauma/genetics/inter-generational trauma

to push back on therapy, psychedelics and/or emdr can permanently change core beliefs, unfold and melt trauma, push beyond radical depths into new ground entirely, access is the real problem

initially thought an nhs dept of psychedelic medicine could be a huge leap forward but nothing stops the meat grinder eating souls, you can only effect a tiny % of anything until the inevitable conquering of such ineffable experiences becomes industrialised, besides guides aren’t that hard to find
