Autism and horses and weird mongolian rituals?

[wannaBe]

Have just watched this morning and There was a writer called rupert Isaacson talking about how his son was healed through horses and shaman rituals.

sorry it's the daily mail, but

here

and

here

are extracts from his book.

Now, I'm a fairly broad-minded person. I am totally aware of the impact that animals can have on people, esp those with severe sn, so I have no doubt of the relationship between this child and horses.

I'm also fairly open to alternative therapies, and am fairly sure that they have their place in society and that there is definitely something to be said for using other methods to bring about changes.

But healing in a day? A couple of rituals and suddenly no more incontinence and only a couple more tantrums?

Isn't this all just a bit ... ?

I suppose it will get interested people to the website, or the book or film. It's very rare in the autism world to find people doing stuff for free/donation and lovely when it happens!
