Sever autistic kids may be trapped. but not with out hope.

I just saw an interesting segment on 60 minutes 2


There is a woman in india who decided not to listen to the doctors and experts and she has cracked the secret for communicating with her child.


He now writes poetry and has surprising language skills.

Apparently even though the ability to express themselves is broken they have fully functioning brains. in many cases they even know how to spell and have questions which need answering.

This post is for my techimo bud I hope this helps.

Just to add to the story the woman has not only been able to do it with her son but with severly autistic children from other families.

It sounds promising for many autistic children not for just a few extreme cases. I think that they kinda implied that it may even be the norm rather than the exception.


Just thought I would pass it on.
