"Thing to Thing to Thing" Takes It's Final Bows in Los Angeles

When it Left We Were Sad to See it Go; Now it is Back for One Final Show

By Jesse Schmitt

"Thing to Thing to Thing: From Crazy to Sane with Biofeedback, Autism, and the Brain" is a truly special occasion and should be seen by everyone. This show is a rare bird as it is a one woman, musical, written by it's performer as she details her own struggle with her adopted autistic children.

With an amazing and insightful bit of heaven at her back, Lynette Louise brings back her three hour odyssey for the one show she's got left in her. This show started in Los Angeles and has traveled to San Diego, Chicago, New York, Boston, Houston and the Simi Valley and she's ready to take her curtain call at the Complex (Dorie) Theatre in Hollywood.

Lynette Louise is actually a mother of eight and she is a performer as well. But she had to put her performance career on hold while she managed to heal several of her kids who were afflicted with autism. This may seem like a fool's task but the lessons learned in this cathartic healing process actually empowered Ms. Louise to bring her story to the stage to share with the world.

Concurrent with her coping with this disease she began working with other families around the world trying to bring a little bit of peace, a little bit of compassion, and a greater understanding for the plight which these kids were living and the ways that collectively they could all turn their lives towards good.

According to recent press coverage, the changes "are amazing, and Ms. Louise is committed to bringing the information to the world." With one of the elements that are sadly too often missing in this day and age there is a lesson learned, there were undoubtedly mistakes made, but it is an incredible story with "an inspiring, happy ending."

Another tickling little fact about this show is that Ms. Louise is trying to incorporate those who are stricken with Autism as well; not just preach to people with no idea or vested interest. Disabled adults and Parents of Autistic children admitted to this show for free; there is only the need for the interested parties to "Call in" their reservation beforehand. A small service fee will apply.

Autism is a brain disorder which afflicts a great many more people than most are even aware of. When brave people such as Lynette Louise stand up and share their story we are that much closer to a broader outreach and greater understanding through the shared sacrifice and burden of caring for and making sure that all who need it are permitted treatment.
