I only caught the end of Oprah today, where she had someone teaching the audience some cool dance moves.
The interesting thing is that on the View they had Leeza Gibbons and partner doing a Tango, and it was mentioned that ballroom dancing is a great tool for helping to retain memory function and slow the Alzheimer's effect.
For anyone past middle age the loss of memory function frequently becomes an issue. Ginkgo has already proven itself to be helpful for this, and it makes sense that dancing would too since you are working on remembering steps combined with movement, so more than just the brain is engaged.
Its funny, because without knowing this (or rembering it?) I have been trying to get into the habit of going dancing with a friend. So now I have yet another reason to go. I liked the idea of going simply because it is a fun way to get some good exercise. Of course I was thinking about folk dancing and square dancing, but I'm sure the same principle applies.

Autism
I don't pretend to fully understand Autism but based upon what was presented and what my own research and experience has taught me, here is my perspective:
Autism is a karmic condition like all illnesses and disabilities. Although the expert doctor poop-poohed the connection with vaccinations as the trigger or the catalyst I would not be surprised to find that this was indeed the case.
Understanding Autism as a karmic condition is key. My understanding is that as Soul you choose your parents, and if you end up as a Autistic child there is a karmic reason for it. The most enlightened comments in this presentation came from the parents who described their Autistic child as a gift, someone who has helped them grow and has taught them love.
If you don't understand what I mean by karmic condition, the book that made this crystal clear to me was one written years ago by Gina Cerminara based on the Edgar Cayce readings, called Many Mansions. I'm pretty sure this is still in print and if its not you can easily find a used copy. She was a PhD psychologist who studied the Cayce readings and layed out in a very understandable way how karma works, and especially relevant is what she had to say about the karmic causes of illness.
