People with this disorder normally exhibit difficulty in communicating and interacting with others as well as displaying uncommon behavioral patterns, interests or activities. This wide spectrum of conditions make the treatments for autism very challenging.treatment for autismhttp://www.eparentz.com/landingpage/ultimate-autism-solution/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-21125734697636762652009-03-31T22:51:00.000-03:002009-03-31T22:51:00.000-03:00Your posts are really helpful and I have really en...Your posts are really helpful and I have really enjoyed them. My son has autism, not aspergers. He is higher functioning than most, and is doing 30 plus hrs of ABA in home one on one DT. He also does HBOT (hard chamber hyperbaric oxygen therapy) and we have seen really awesome results from it. I would definitely pick ABA over HBOT, but the HBOT has also been a huge help that we would never want to take away. Life farmwifetwo, everyone chooses their own way, and I can definitely see why you don't want to do HBOT at this time, and I wouldn't argue with you. ABA is the #1 way to go! We have found in our research that mild chambers are much less effective than hard.

Neither helps a child with autism grow, become educated and an independant member of society. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a fan of a lot of the treatments out there, but as long as they are legal under the law and performed by a licensed/trained professional... It is up to each parent what they wish to do.<BR/><BR/>I don't care how another parent may opt to teach their child... as long as the same respect is given to me to choose my options that best fit my family.... but children need to be taught - socially, behaviourally, independant living skills and the 3R's (reading, writing, 'rithmetic).<BR/><BR/>The ND crowd doesn't advocate for services... they just bash them every chance they get.<BR/><BR/>It's a disability, not a difference. To this day my eldest son still has no idea he has a learning disorder/Autism/NLD. If I can prevent the school from telling him, he won't be told until the next set of assessments are completed at Gr 8. Why tell him now??? He gets treated the same as the rest of them. Autism/NLD/LD or whatever it will turn out to be.. doesn't make him special and outside of the laws/social rules of this country.<BR/><BR/>The ND crowd thinks they are "special"..... They aren't.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
