Nathan during an ABA session. (Part 1)

http://www.autismrecovery.info
This is Nathan our son. Nathan was diagnosed at the age of two years old as having Autism. He was a low functioning Autistic child until we started Nathan on a recovery plan. Coming up to three years of therapy and bio-medical intervention, that has made a big difference to Nathan. He is no longer condsidered low functioning on the spectrum and is improving all the time. ABA is one of the best practical therapies you can do for a child who has Autism. It has made a big difference to Nathan.

My 18 month old was diagnosed today. I hate the reactions I am getting from in-laws. They say he's lazy, stubborn and that he doesn't have it.  They say he can't have it because he is smart, etc. I say autism isn't about intelligence. Then they say he doesn't act like Rainman, so he can't have it. These comments are so annoying!

How old is nathan? I want to see his progress, i have a son too plays like that and i am teaching and talking to him, but i want to learn more on how to teach effectively...

@hcvang ABA treatment is a very strict treatment which uses rewards in order the child could associate an action with positive reinforcement, feelings and memory and repeat the right behaviour.

@multisnootylives1 No! It's not like that! You are completely wrong, it's better for you to read some scientific papers which show the effectiveness of ABA treatment on autism. Autistic people are not retards, among of them there are a looooot of genius people. Be careful regarding the way you use your language!

Rainman is an autistic savant! It's completely different of autism! Don't care about their comments, they should read more books and being informed about autism and other difficulties! There are people who care for children with autism or other developmental issues.

@multisnootylives1 You are a fucking worthless piece of shit!!! You wouldnt say that if someone you loved had autism. No--fucking idiots like you dont know how to love! you are also probably a child molester. Hope you burn in hell you worthless excuse for a human !!!!!!!!!!!!

@multisnootylives1 What is your problem?

[multisnootylives1]

ABA is a lot of work. Autistic children are worthless retards who will never accomplish anything. ABA=waste of time

@charityjunebug I suppose I'm fortunate that I don't have in laws to deal with, but just a little advice for your own peace of mind, trust the experts. Trust yourself. You are his parent, not your in laws, and you are going to know your child best. There are a lot of people with autism who are extremely intelligent. Autism isn't mental retardation as some would believe. That is why awareness is so important. It might help to look into some good, easy read books that explain it for your in laws.
