Some feedback from Dr. Llewellyn:

“I taught an autistic boy piano and in 3 years he lost his diagnosis. He's really obsessed with music so he's still a bit out there but it's given him a life. His mum doesn't have to medicate him at all. The doctors can't explain it.

Also, another boy who had a problem with his left hand. A few months ago, I bumped into his mum at the tuck shop. She told me that he had a stroke at birth and has not been able to use his left side for much. He now plays with both hands (it took a year!!) and after visiting his old doctor in Germany, they were told he had made a full recovery. His brain had entirely re-grown!!! They had travelled the world to first diagnose him then work out what could be done to improve his condition......he doesn't have a condition any more.”
