Autism and Dolphins, Is There a Connection?—-I’m not inclined to speculate too much, aside from noting that a dolphin is the best metaphor I can find to describe Charlie swimming in the ocean. (As for taking better photos of him swimming—I’d need a camera like this, and hope it can withstand sand, surf, and salt water!)

I highly recommend you watch the Penn and Teller show Bulls*&^ on Dolphins. Putting your child in with a dolphin can be very dangerous, and while fun and your kid may enjoy it, it’s hooey as an autism treatment.
***WARNING: HARSH LANGUAGE, DON’T WATCH IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED****, but funny as heck …
PENN & TELLER on Dolphins … part 2 mentioned the autism treatments, etc.

Reminds me of A Ring of Endless Light, by Madeleine L’Engle - dolphin telepathy, communicating in unspoken images, non-linear time. Intriguing, but… I agree, I’m not inclined to speculate much on it either.

A little hooey always helps on a long day!
