Dearest Gurudev, what is your understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, otherwise known as High-functioning Autism. My loved one has just been diagnosed.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

I can’t comment on it as I have not studied this disease in-depth. Someone should do deep research on autism as to why so many kids are being diagnosed with the condition these days, especially in America. It has become a very big issue there.

Sometimes vaccination is a really bad thing. You know, you have to compulsorily take Yellow Fever vaccinations when you travel to South Africa and people get reactions such as boils on the skin.
