It was, and I did.

I was trying to think of how to respond with more than a sincere Thank You.

A lot of these "news" items are on this and that show. Most of what she is saying is common sense. It would be more credible if, for example she had several hundreds/thousands of testimonials. It may again be more credible if she weren't selling a book.

While I am sure these success stories are true. Its kinda like saying you have a cure for cancer. The first question would be what kind of cancer. There are many different forms, levels or whatever you want to call Autism. And like I said I am sure its true. But its kinda like lottery winners. Few and far between. Its hard to get behind something unless it has some statistics to back up the claims.

A couple of things for sure. I do appreciate you seeing it and bringing it to our attention. I will investigate and continue to follow up as time is the true test.

The second is a promise from me. If I do find something that works and turns this thing around. I will share it with everyone I know. I wont charge a nickle. I give it away for free because its the right thing to do.

What she is doing is a commonly used method in the UK, and normally the first port of call for autistic people, which proves that it doesn't provide a cure, otherwise we wouldn't have any autistic people in the UK. In my class of 15, I have 10.
