Guide Review - Autism and The God Connection
There are many apparently authenticated stories of clairvoyance and telepathy -- and I would never deny the possibility that some individuals have a special relationship to the divine. What's difficult for me to acknowledge is that the individuals in this particular book -- that is, children and adults with autism -- are MORE likely to be clairvoyants, telepaths or mystics than anyone else.
I also found myself a little confused about what seemed to me to be a confusion between the paranormal and the divine. Can telepathy or clairvoyance really be equated with a mystical relationship to God?
Despite my own caveats, I would recommend this book to anyone who has seen a surprising capacity for knowing or understanding in a loved one on the autism spectrum. It's a fascinating perspective -- and I should say that virtually all of the reviews I found on Amazon were five star raves!
