Found a new site for blogging information for Autuism, they followed me on Twitter and when they found out I was a doctor who knew alot and had a distant relative with autism, they wanted me to join. So I did. My name there is Drlily.

Just read an update from Psychiatric Times and I am ticked. The DSM is being updated. IT doesnt need it. And its late, overbudget, poorly written and now they need to start over.
Sometimes these bureacratic groups make me want to go there and scream. They make us look bad, like the worst stereotype. Lord, its embarassing. I will pray for a miracle and see on a practical level if I can do anything. Later (I put this on Twitter and Facebook)

Mandalas heal by giving energy to the aura, and stimulating the brain to think in new ways, feel in new ways. It can be used with any person ages 3 and up. Pictures are worth a thousand words? I think so. This pic is in a book by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, Healing Mandalas, beautiful artwork.

I just used this with an Indigo child and his mom and they loved it. They are now going to set time to let him draw mandalas and see what growth occurs as a result. I can't wait to hear the follow up news!
