Hi Penny,

I don't know them.

I tend to judge people by their truthfulness. So, a comment like "View New Inspiring Video Testimonials Every Week!" is in instant hit with me, as you can easily verify it by checking today and a week from Friday. The fact that some of the testimonials are repeat performances does create some doubt, though.

(On the other hand, it seems that they are very truthful about there being no "no risk to your child" if you start with this, as the starter kit doesn't seem to actually involve your child at all.)

Other than that:
- There are preciously few "cured" autists giving testimony. (Or should that be "there is"?)
- Have you seen the film Split Image? The protagonist is sucked into a cult; during his time there he is more or less told that he is happy, and he speaks of his ante-cult self in a distancing way. It may be any little detail, but the "cured" autist triggers that memory for me.
- Yes, I believe certain aspects of autism can be modified. Maybe working very intense with children at the age when they absorb the world will allow changing them. But I doubt that any such program could merely switches on some allist characteristics, without severely reshaping the child's mind.

If someone really would have found a cure for Autism, even if it involved very intense treatment, it would have been all over the media last week, and every year over. As that hasn't happened, and with the associations I get from it, I wonder what they are trying to do to us?
