A polyvagal and brain-plasticity framework for understanding autism

Holly Bridges presents autism through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, which the book describes as linking autistic symptoms to nervous-system responses shaped by prolonged fight-or-flight states. It pairs that framework with an introduction to brain plasticity—the brain’s capacity to change across life—and translates both ideas into practical approaches for strengthening the mind-body connection and supporting wellbeing. The emphasis is on an optimistic, accessible explanation of these concepts, with updated autistic language and terminology in this edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Autistic people interested in nervous-system and mind-body frameworks
  • Parents seeking practical ideas for supporting autistic family members
  • Professionals working with autistic individuals

Book overview

Outlining a new and optimistic way to understand autism, this concise book offers practical ideas to support individuals on the autism spectrum. The Polyvagal Theory suggests that symptoms of autism are a learnt response of the nervous system - the result of being in a prolonged state of flight/fight. This book explains the theory in simple terms and incorporates recent developments in brain plasticity research (the capacity of the brain to change throughout life) to give autistics, parents and professionals the tools to strengthen the mind-body connection and enhance wellbeing. This new edition includes updated autistic language and concepts.
