Transform Your Understanding of Autism & ADHD with the Total Load Framework.
Patricia S. Lemer is a licensed counselor and educational diagnostician with decades of experience working with neurodevelopmental disorders. She applies a holistic model focused on root causes rather than just treating observable symptoms
Overview & Central Idea
Total Load Theory proposes a new paradigm for understanding, preventing, and addressing autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, sensory processing disorder (SPD), learning disabilities (LD), and related mental health challenges. Rather than looking for a single cause, the book argues that accumulated stressors across many areas (“total load”) push the body and nervous system beyond its adaptive capacity, leading to symptoms and diagnoses.
Core Concepts
The “load” is the sum of genetic, biological, environmental, psychological, immunological, and toxic stressors a person experiences.
When these loads exceed one’s ability to cope (like a bridge carrying too much weight), the nervous system becomes dysregulated and symptoms appear.
