Hi Olga,

I am interested in/ trying to grow the thread that Appreciative Conversation 
is an activity that can be harnessed to shift the mind, the emotions, the 
neurochemistry.

I KNOW this can be done with a high degree of effectiveess and reliability 
to manage anxiety, worry, fear, ADD, and to stimulate thinking, problem 
solving and creativity.

Part of the magic of the process is when a victim of  anxiety, worry, 
shyness, extreme sensitivity etc learns to become a "highly effective 
listening partner" - that is  - learns to become not a victim but actually a 
resource and a vector of  growth and effectiveness for other sufferers.

When I say conversation - I mean dyadic conversation in the mode of the AI 
discovery conversaation - where "the listening partner" has an intention and 
dedication to finding material that is valued by the speaker,  to admire, 
applaud and thus encourage and inspire.

I know effectively almost nothing about Asperger's syndrome  - I just wanted 
to frame these ideas - and "applications" for you in case they are of 
interest and possible value - and would be happy to correspond more if you 
wish

Mike

PS You have inspired me by your e mail - conversation "of the right type" is 
also "indcated" against Mature Onset Pseudo-Defficient
Memory Syndrome - and can be used to for short term pain relief.
