Example text
The massive and exclusive use of auto-generated encapsulation that has distracted attention away from unbearable traumatic infantile experiences has been found to be specific and unique to autistic children. This finding means that childhood autism can be diagnosed more certainly and more accurately than has previously been the case in the psychotherapeutic field. Such diagnostic assessment is not to enable us to label and pin patients like butterflies onto a board, but so that we can begin 'to look out at the world through their eyes', as James Anthony put it in the quotation at the start of this chapter.

Their excessive concentration on sensations engendered by their own body makes them unaware of sensations with more normal objective relevance. For example, many of these children are unaware of being hurt if they fall down. Autistic children carry hard objects around with them, with which they feel equated in a two-dimensional way. This is not identification; they have taken over the hardness of the object to become equated with it.
