  • Having had the absolute pleasure of meeting Izzy Paskowitz at Surfers Healing, he is heaven's angel here on earth. He's a wonderful man who lets all of us parents of autistic children have a wonderful, calming day at the beach. It's a non-judgemental day, with no stares, no weird looks, just a community that comes together as ones for our sweet kids. His words that he speaks are something that I'm sure EVERY parent of an autistic child has thought at one time or another. We LOVE Surfers Healing!

  • The Magnesium Chloride (oil) and the release of positive ions while being "grounded" in the ocean water may explain why some Autistic Children seem normal during surfing. "Rebounding" and "Diet" also play a key role. Contact me if you need more info.

  • Thank you for sharing this! Parents often find solutions before researchers.

  • I am speaking in terms of behavior modification and stimulus control. Sorry.

  • ...i can't understand your sentences; your wording is really awkward.

  • All parents want their kids to be able to be "normal". It probably gave him some hope for his son's future.

  • What this man is talking about is a stimulus that is novel, causes concentration, & processes internal stimulus that these children do not process due to not controlling their environment as fully.

    What he is also talking about is a father's desire for his son which can seem lost with a diagnosis of autism.

    After dolphin therapy, holding therapy, & being around animals some children learn in discrete trial training more efficiently. This is due to the above paragraph effects mentioned.

  • I DO agree with this idea though. Very cool.

  • While we were riding that wave, he was normal.

    How sad that this dad couldn't see the son he had OUT of the water as well.

  • a good life you should get one
