was he autistic? When we went to EEmory we dealt with one person there who had

trouble making eye contact and it was kind of weird talking to him, but I got

the feeling that he was probably autistic or aspergers to some degree.

Hi,

I am sorry you may have had a less than ideal experience when attending this lecture. But please realize that this program is a model no matter who is lecturing and that it is reproduced in centers around the United States. In other words as stated before I have dealt with both directors of Peachtree City and Suwannee and although the backgrounds are completely different, it never once took away from the overall experience of the program. And I found them both to be very wonderful and gentle people that put everything aside for our children.

The founder of this program is Dr. Melillo. His book about Brain Balance centers and our experiences will be in it. The book is available on Amazon.com and will be out in January and explains in detail the complexities behind it. His book is called

Disconnected Kids: The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program for Children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Neurological Disorders
