I took a nasty fall right on my bum last night due to a heightened startle reflex which many people with cerebral palsy and autism possess. Any loud noise or unexpected movement startles me sometimes to the extent where I literally lose my balance and fall. SO, after sitting on my bruised coccyx for three hours at the computer this morning, I wrote a computer program that actually trains a person with a heightened startle reflex and PTSD to get used to unexpected loud sounds. So far, it has worked pretty well in making me jump lol. It will be interesting to see the results after a weeks worth of this kind of stimulus-response conditioning. After all is said and done, Ill have the reflexes of Bruce Lee and the balance and coordination of a circus acrobat! Its true what they say that Necessity is the mother of invention. Sometimes you just have to take your life into your own hands and learn!
