I would like to understand whether Past Life Regression Therapy can provide any insights in the case of autism. Since autism is a neurodevelopmental condition with complex biological, psychological, and social factors. I want to understand from a spiritual and soul perspective, can PLRT help explore whether there are karmic lessons, past life influences, or soul contracts connected to autism? Could it also offer parents or individuals more clarity, acceptance, or coping resources through an expanded awareness of the soul’s journey? I am curious if PLRT can provide a deeper understanding or perspective—not to ‘cure’ autism, but to bring healing, compassion, and acceptance for those living with it and their families. Thank you

To add further, the parent/s who are struggling with the pain of “why my child”, “why me”, when they experience PLR and understand the deeper reason, I feel they will be able to accept the whole experience better and when they accept, the pain eases out and then they can focus well on the child and also take care of themselves. When taken care in the right way, autistic children are highly gifted and can have beautiful life.

This is such an interesting question, Harmeet, and it has always deeply intrigued me too.
I haven’t personally worked with clients in these specific situations, but I’ve spent time exploring the deeper spiritual aspects of experiences like rape, Down syndrome, and autism. From what I’ve come to understand, souls often take birth within the same soul groups or families across different lifetimes.
Special children, for example, are often highly evolved souls who choose challenging lives out of deep compassion and love. At a soul level, they make an agreement with their parents or family members to support their growth, healing, or evolution in some way. They know their journey will be difficult, but they choose it consciously as an act of service and higher purpose.
In cases like Nirbhaya, I feel her soul chose that particular experience not as punishment or karmic repayment, but as a catalyst to awaken collective consciousness and social change. These are higher souls who come to bring transformation within families, communities, or even nations.
I once heard someone say that Nirbhaya suffered because of bad karma, but that never felt true to me. Later, when I read that such souls are deeply cared for in the spirit world and don’t take birth again immediately, it felt so relieving. Now coming to your question, may be we can work with people related to someone who is autistic and also the pain factor is important here. Hope this helps

further to what @ramyaa has so kindly shared,
I too feel that Autistic children are gifted in their own way…
but if it means the child being slow in learning and such thing, I’ve witnessed a surprising session where healing the mother, brought some tangible changes in her child.

@ramyaa so beautifully explained!
My friend has a child who has autism, her struggles are unspoken. But she conducts her life with such grace, it’s remarkable.
Totally agree with you on this. That it’s equally important to recognize the immense emotional, physical, and mental load carried by the caregivers , especially the mother.
While all attention often goes toward supporting the child’s growth and therapy, the mothe’s silent suffering can easily go unnoticed. The mother endures sleepless nights, constant worry, social isolation, and emotional exhaustion while trying to stay strong and patient. She manages therapy schedules, communication barriers, and societal judgment, often with little or no emotional outlet for herself.
This is where (PLRT) may become deeply supportive. Through PLRT, the mother can explore the deeper emotional roots of her pain, recurring patterns, and soul-level connections with her child. It can bring profound clarity — why this journey was chosen, what karmic lessons may be unfolding, and how she can heal her own emotional layers while continuing to care for her child from a more balanced and compassionate space.
Because when the mother heals, the entire family’s energy begins to shift. The child senses that calm. The environment becomes softer. The healing becomes mutual.
May be I one day, can bring her on board!
Thank you

Totally agree @Venu. Sometimes chronic health issues in children are their way of helping their parents (specially mother). Because they cannot do much, they carry the dis-ease, so that they mother can focus on the child completely and then has no time or space to worry about other stuff. “I suffer for you ma” is the inner landscape of the child.
