I have a more detailed explanation on my Mild-Autism site, but briefly here:
(1) We are all autistic: anyone who has gone into his or her world to reflect or to escape from the Real World is to that extent autistic, because autism's central behavioural trait is withdrawal from the real world. Since all of us withdraw we are therefore all autistic to that extent.
(2) There is a common theme to autistic behaviours that should be the crux of all training, and that can be summed up in one word: Withdrawal. If you look my Website's Mild Autism Home Page  you can actively see how I trace all classic autistic behaviours back to the one common cause of Withdrawal. -- If you tap on your choice of behavioural trait you will see more explanation of the tie-in to Withdrawal.
By the way while you are exploring the Home Page you might also like to look over at the "You Experience Autism" section, which will help you understand what your Child is going through, because if you don't understand your girl or boy, how can you offer solutions? You will be able to identify with the examples that I provide you in this Section, making you better-able to understand your loved one.
(3) And regarding Change, rather than take my word for it. Tony Attwood, in his "Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome", (a title I have always thought a little pretentious..!) On the fourth-last page he says 
" it is possible for some people to become "late socialisers". 
He has seen hundreds of Aspergers or mild-autistics in his career, so I think it's fair for you to believe him, that it is possible.
My aim through this Training is to help more people become socialisers, more quickly, by which I mean to learn the feelings of interaction and rapport that are so valuable to social creatures like we humans.

PS apologies to those who could easily misinterpret what I said about halfway through the video, that 'through training our youngsters can become more like us"  -  I didn't wish to imply that those with greater autistic-orientation were quite different, a concept I try to dispel in the video, I was referring to the progression that is part of learning and improving, and no-one should deny another's attempts at increasing their abilities, whether in becoming more socially competent or better at a sport.
