| The artist, the architect and the engineeer were sitting together minding their own business when a sociologist happened along. "Guys," she said, "You are all men of the world so I know you won't take offense at my question. Tell me, each of you, with whom you would rather spend your time, you wife ... |

| My Grandfather was an aircraft mechanic for the Army Air Corps in WWII. The only two places he was known to be stationed during the war was Guadalcanal during '42-43 and Tinian in the summer of 1945. He was EXTREMELY tight-lipped about his service which has led to speculation among the family that ... |

| Thanks for your kind understanding, Guest. Have you been to any of their introductory sessions? My feeling is that, once RDI catches on, the Connections Center won't be able to keep it for themselves -- because it is too powerful, too research-based, sensible, humane and enjoyable. Once RDI goes mai... |

| Bee Bee, You asked whether there have been any "independent" studies of RDI. and by "independent" I take it you mean research done by people other than Gutstein and Sheely. To that question the answer is "no." HOWEVER -- the Winter 2005 issue of Autism Spectrum Quarterly contains an article comparin... |

However, since I am morally opposed to doing ABA myself, I had to find some approach to ASD, or hang up my gunbelt and spurs, so to speak. I take all the advertising with a grain of salt, and am actually repelled by it, myself. In spite of... |
