Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Dear Kursija Ji, Thank you for your excellent article on Autism related disorders. This is very near and dear to my heart since I have some one in my family affected by this. Here are some more points I would like to make regarding it. Mercury affliction seems to be key for Autism. As you have pointed out affliction of 2nd lord as well. I have seen several Autistic kids have Taurus lagna. With Taurus lagna, affliction of Mercury is also affliction to the 2nd lord. Mercury also has the quality of "imitation". This is the reason why you will find most good actors have strong well placed Mercury. An afflicted Mercury makes it difficult for these kids to "imitate" others. Unfortunately "imitation" is how children learn. Since an afflicted Mercury makes imitation difficult, these kids have learning disability. So they cannot be taught in a "mercurial fashion" (traditional way) but in a more "visual" way using unique techniques. The other thing I found is that some children have both Mercury and Moon afflicted along with 4th and 5th house afflictions. I have seen a pattern where Mercury, 4th and 5th afflictions without Moon affliction, produces a more "high functioning Autism". If Moon is also afflicted, then the Autism is more "severe" and results in a "lower functioning Autism". If Me, Moon, 4th house, 5th house and the lagna are all afflicted, then the autism is debilitating and some times there are other coexisting conditions like "mental retardation". The grace of Jupiter is particularly potent in alleviating the effects of Autism for several reasons. We all know Guru is the ultimate benific. Also he is the 9th lord of the Zodiac. 9th being 5th from the 5th, he can alleviate 5th house affliction if he is in Good shape and if he aspects Mercury (and especially Me along with 5th lord and 4th lord). Jupiter is ofcourse also a karaka for Knowledge. The other interesting thing in my research incidcates for kids with Autism, the strength of Venus becomes critical. Why Venus? It is because Venus is the ruler of the 2nd house of the Zodiac (Taurus). Also dont forget the Shukracharya was also a guru (albeit guru of the rakshasas). So I have found that a strong Shukra gives great promise of an eventual "recovery" from Autism and even some kind of useful "non-traditional education" that helps the child to make money (ofcourse dashas have to fructify correctly). If the correct combination of dashas and bhuktis occur, with the presence of some neechabanga or other alleviating characteristics coupled with a strong Navamsha chart is present, some of these kids can transition from having severe learning disabilities and deficits to being Geniuses later in life. Interesting the very quality of Mercury that helps other "typical" children learn (imitation) is also a recipe for mediocrity. The very disability due to affliction of Mercury that hurts Autistic children (inability to imitate) also makes them extremely Creative Geniuses, if the chart has the correct conditions. -Manoj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
