Your welcome. It makes a nice contrast to the other threads posted here about autism. Hopefully, this avenue of research can produce some more effective treatments for autism.

My family is in one of these many clinical studies on Autism. My son's school and we used a mirror at home to orient him better since he used to treat his hands as if they weren't actually his. He also wouldn't look at us in the eye.
I must say it helped quite a bit. He still occasionally looks at his hands as foreign but his eye contact is great.
