The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax; and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.
I'm a visual thinker, not a language-based thinker. My brain is like Google Images.
My mind sort of works like a search engine. You ask me something, and I start seeing pictures.
I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff.
What I've tried to do is combine both my personal experiences with scientific research. I like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world.
Language just gradually came in, one or two stressed words a time. Before then, I would just scream. I couldn't talk. I couldn't get my words out. So the only way I could tell someone what I wanted was to scream. If I didn't want to wear a hat, the only way I knew to communicate was screaming and throwing it on the floor.
