HOPE FOR THE AUTISTIC IN A BOSTON SCHOOL
By Marisa De La Paz,
Contributing Writer

Three years ago, a cut, 9-year-old autistic African-American boy named James was loved by his teachers at the Prescott Elementary School in Charlestown, although they felt there was no hope for him. Like many other autistic children, James would withdraw into a private world of fantasy and be unable to communicate with others or respond to the real environment. He would blankly utter gibberish, sometimes would swing his arms violently and aimlessly, and had to be led to different classrooms, the restrooms, etc., by hand. In each new place, James did not know where he was or what was around him. James had a very severe case of autism and it was believed that James would remain in this condition for the rest of his life.

But hope was on the way in the form of a young, six-foot, four-inch kindergarten teacher, Erik Bayersdorfer, who became a new member of the Church of Scientology. This loving ‘Kindergarten Cop’ pulled out an Oxford American Dictionary to find out more about autism. He learned that it was a condition wherein one is not in communication with his surrounding environment, and decided that there may be hope for James.

Erik used a simple technique called a ‘locational assist’ which was developed by author and Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard, to direct a person’s attention off the painful areas of his body or his difficulties and out into the environment – exactly what James could not do.

“I had concerns because James would never seem to do or undestand what anyone was telling him, but then asked him to ‘Look at that window,’ then other things in the environment. At first he didn’t readily comply, but surprisingly, James did do as I asked,” said Erik. “Soon he was fully understanding me and following my instructions.”

“Run, do you want to run?” came clearly out of James mouth that had never uttered a decipherable sound in nine years. Erik was in partial shock while saying, “Sure.” And soon they darted around the school. While actually playing for the first time in his life, James said things like “Catch me.” And “Do you want to play?”

The next day, James was back in his autistic dreamland and Erik gave him another locational assist. This time it was videotaped by another teacher, Becky. James responded immediately to the locational and was on his way playing chase with Erik. Erik gave Becky a booklet on how to do the locational and other assists and she promised to continue helping James. She also said she would show the video of James being helped to faculty so more children could be aided. Erik continued to learn from the staff at the Church of Scientology of Boston, a few days later, in order to gain more expertise in helping people. ‘Locationals and other assists, that alleviate the spritual component of physical pain, shock and emotional trauma should be known by everyone,” said Erik Bayersdorfer. “Assists were successfully used by Scientology Volunteer Ministers to help rescue workers stay on the job at Ground Zero immediately after September 11th and are valuable in everyday life.”

Such a cute story about a kid who is going to a school using L. Ron Hubbard's Study Technology, and how much better he is doing as a result.

I really feel if more parents would learn how to apply this technology to kids there would be far less diagnoses of ADD and ADHD, less drugging of kids, and less violence and childhood and teen suicide. It is such a vital issue.

As an honorary Aussie I was really happy to see this new site go online. It features Scientology Technology to Help Children and gives simple, practical answers to questions on the subject.

A book I highly recommend is Child Dianetics, available through Bridge Publications . You can also get Child Dianetics at Amazon.com.

I don't know about you, but there have been definite points when I needed direction in terms of bringing up my children. Particularly at the beginning before I really understood what was involved and how to control my children correctly.

The one thing that made this definitely easier for me and still does today -- now my children are teenagers and leading their own lives, was the Scientology philosophy.

Kids are joy and wonder, mine are anyway, I can't speak for all parents.
I would like to share something that makes this possible though, as parenting sometimes requires so much patience and love.

L. Ron Hubbard has many tips for helping parents cope and do a good job, which is after all, all we want -- the best for our kids.

Here is a web site that I found most helpful and interesting.

A helpful Scientology Site on Kids

Jane James is a friend of mine. She is very active as a homeschool mom.
She has six children so certainly qualifies, but she cares for not only her own family but is very active on the Net advising and helping others.

Jane is able to do this as she uses Scientology tools with great success.
I am putting here all the places I know of where she is active and you can see for yourself what a good job she is doing.

We should all take such an example.

Well now I am bringing up an issue very close to my heart. The psychiatric drugging of children. I have personally witnessed psychiatric abuses and I have nothing positive to say about this profession. To allow our children to fall in to these hands is criminal and it is best that parents get educated so that they don't wind up with kids that are victims or end up statitistics. For more information, this web site says it all:

Both our families were involved in Scientology in the '60s and we were given the opportunity to decide for ourselves what we wanted to do.

See the good works that the Scientology Church provided for the community and having helped and enjoyed this immensely, we both went on to pursue careers forwarding the message of human rights and freedom for all.

In Australia there was a band when I was growing up called "Skyhooks." They had a song called "Living in the 70s." That is sooo long ago now. Here I am 30 years later with grown children, new friends and an exciting life.
