I really like what Gutstein has to say and what tools he uses to

help with interrelational skill development...it is NOT social

skills training but true relationship development that teaches

you/the children to read the very subtle behaviors of others

to " know " what they are thinking. One of Gutstein's concerns is the

safety of our children with unsavory people. www.rdiconnect.com

I think the DVD or video is very clear on what he is talking about

and most of the children seem like Asperger's and my son is severe

but it is working very well with him.

> Speaking as an adult with Asperger's I can attest to the

loneliness. The desire to have friends but no clue how to make them.

I can talk to people very well on the computer but face-to-face it

just isn't successful at all.

> It is hard not being able to have people over or not being able to

go to military functions with my husband. I can't wear the clothes

necessary for it and I can't be in a room full of people like that.

> I don't want to say I want to cure myself of my kids, but I would

love to be able to help them.
