I applied for the free video yesterday...everything takes forever
It looks to good to be true

That looks like a joke.

yeah looks like its just an ad site. they make money off the ads, not the product.

I've been in DARE. Does that count?

Apparently the Dore programme works for some but its aggresive marketing campaign has attracted criticism from physicians and experts. The scientific data has not been peer reviewed, the scientists who helped develop the programme have since left the company, its just a bit dodgy to market a service like a product, like washing powder, its also very expensive I would check out balametrics! http://www.balametrics.com/howto.htm Apparently they offer something similar and it is more cost effective.

I went for the Dore asessment a year ago, they have some hi-tech machinery (postuography testing) to asess balance, the sort of equipment you would see in an ENT department at a hospital. The girls doing the testing were not properly trained and seemed very inexperienced, the place is a cross between a sports centre and a supermarket. Finally, you see a doctor who tests you for any residual primitive reflexes and informs you the results of the battery of tests. If you have what seems to be a low functioning "cerebellar" you are eligible to begin the program and kiss goodbye to over two grand!

Hi Fresco,Thanks for the input & content-2 of my favourite things.
I thought Dore smelt.R U doing Balumetrics?Any feedback U want to give us?
I'll add Bal to the list of things to try.I'm going to see a psychologist who does EEG training
I read about in abook called "ADD The 20-Hour solution" by Steinberg & Othmer next.
R U interested in natural therapies?Yoga's great but I'm inconsistant-depression sux.
Meditation cured my insomnia.It's lovely being in a meditative state delightful.The 1st time it happens is amasing,a revelation.It was only after doing yoga for a few years that my resistance to the idea softened so I'll be eternally thankful to it.
I don't understand why there isn't a Forum called Health, Medicine,& Natural Therapies,
but I'm still a newby here.

Hi Syzygyish

Yes Balametrics is on my list of things to try I've had good reports about it though. Dore is a little dodgy, he made his fortune intially selling fire retardant paint. Best of luck. Actually theres one thing I would recommend and that is a thorough eye examination with a good optician/behavioural optometrist. I recently found I had very poor eye convergence/ very weak eye muscles and this was the reason I was experiencing dizziness, balance problems and trouble concentrating/reading they prescribed eye exercises and prism glasses. Many people with AS have some vision difficulties its worth having it checked.

I don't know about DORE, but I do recall one girl on here fascinated with fixing DOORS. Maybe you should ask her how well it works!

Hi Fresco.My love,for this life,and these lives,and despair,for they're waste,continues,unabated & unassuaged
Well,Here I am again hat in hand..It seems necessary to apologise to the DORE people.
I went to an Aspergers seminar yesterday.3 speakers were a family group with a converging lineage-A.S &A.S.D. in child,parents & grandparents.They felt indebted to DORE for marked
improvements in gross & fine motor skills."I can stand/balance on 1 leg now!"They pointed out that the $2000 investment is a one-off (and worth every cent) & the skills attained r life long with continual improvement.
So balance & co-ordination problems can probably be addressed by DORE in proportion to personal levals of dysfunction.Getting assessed won't hurt much.
Yet another example of Aspergers completely case specific symptoms/treatments.
U are spot-on about eye problems.I have been wearing glasses now for 4? years at 39(year old boy).The opt. said I should have been wearing them since childhood!! !
Synchronicity?Deja vu?The family mentioned previously all wore sunglasses,however,explained they were in fact 'urban lenses' & like u,advised specialist examination.1 was sensitive to blue in the spectrum,another yellow.So off I go...
Take care .It's HELL out there.
