Okay, there are two separate branches to this post so...
1) I have a friend who has a 10 year old autistic son. I love this kid and his autism makes life so difficult at times (though he is high functioning). I have read scattered bits of info pertaining to raw greatly improving autism. If anyone knows of any articles or information sources specifically related to raw and autism I would be so so grateful if you could share them with me so that I can share them with her.
2) There's a regular customer at my work who is generally considered creepy. As in, I'll be fixing something up and turned around and find him standing RIGHT behind me, practically breathing down my neck, staring. He does this all the time, to all of us. Now it WOULD appear that he's a creepy sexual predator, but I've "known" him for a year and a half and know that he's simply depressed, lonely, devoid of hope and life. He has never seemed quite right upstairs and though he makes me uncomfortable I wonder if raw can help him.
He looks about 45 or 50 - he may be younger but if so hasn't aged well. Recently he told a coworker that he has been diagnosed with brain cancer and given a time frame. Everyone kind of thinks he is lying for attention, and knowing him that may very well be true. BUT, he may actually be sick. Is there any chance of raw helping him this late in the process? If so, as above resources would be greatly appreciated. I know it's a long shot but if he could just discover some sort of joy before he dies...
Thanks in advance!
