    You might want to look into yoga for your girls. Seems wierd, but yoga poses are like a catalog of the full range of motion that the joints in the human body are capable of. It teaches you the function of each muscle so it's actually easier to read other peoples body language when you can read your own!

    It could help with vision as well. From the descriptions of Aspergers, seems like vision would sometimes be a problem. If your girls are myopic you might want to look into helping them to expand their field of view. It was shocking to me to realize how much of the 'bigger' picture i could see when i no longer wore glasses and 'corrected' my vision. I'm less prone to obsess over details of objects now, and actually see objects.

    To give an example. Not until i recently expanded my field of view did i realize that i didn't know what a person looked like. I knew what all the body parts looked like, and how they functionned and connected but never really saw the intergrated whole. Life is different when it's in 3d and you see objects and not details.

    So just because YOU can't find a way to falsify it, then it must not be falsifiable?(sp?)

    Maybe you just need to think differently.

    Take off your glasses and see with your real eyes. Glasses force you to see a limited section of reality.

    Ever think we are the designers?

    At the quantum level we are all one, receiving energy from some unknown place to keep our particles spinning. So if god is everything, is not each and everyone of us god?

    Even if you look at the bible, Jesus doesn't say he's special, he's just one of us. From genesis, we're told we've been given a body that was built on the same design as god. If my body is the same as god, aren't i god?

    Unfortunately, most people don't know what their body is capable of (yoga), so they take this amazing marvel of either creation/evolution and try their hardest to run into the ground by ignoring it, not maintaining it, restricting its movement, loading it with garbage, and over utilizing scarce resources.

    In fact, the way that people treat their bodies is usually exactly the same way they treat the earth. Some humans just have no clue.
