Guys I have found massive hope, for AS sufferers & we do suffer!! I think God is definitely into miracles but more often than not he does it via the mundane much less and rarely by the spectacular. The devil and 'his children' love spectacle - the faith of the christian does not need spectacle. Anyway I just wanted to say I am discovering a thing called neuroplasticity - its not new but don't for one minute think you are without hope. I was reading a book titled look me in the eyes by John Robison. In that book he mentions what he described as Brain Plasticity - only in passing. But towards the end of the book he experiences wonderfull changes in his life, for himself and for his AS son. It was so encouraging. It is obvious from his writing that he has the condition but his relationships with NT's improved remarkably, and I put it down to NEUROPLASTICITY. Perhaps this is my special interest right now but I don't care I really think I'm onto something here. Has anyone else heard how this principlal can be applied to help AS sufferers??? Please do tell for all to see.
