[QUOTE="Renea, post: 617459, member: 13180"] Is it worth it? There's a chance that my 10 year old (11 in March) may qualify for aba therapy. He has an Asperger's diagnosis and has poor coping skills and a low frustration tolerance. We've tried individual therapy and a few group therapy classes over the years but we aren't really getting anywhere. He currently takes medication (Prozac) but he has been taking it for so long and has grown so much and gained so much weight on it that I feel it's time to adjust his medication or try something else. He's getting too big to have the meltdowns that he has and I'm getting pretty desperate. Is there any chance that aba will help him with any of his struggles? He's a really sweet boy (usually) and really smart. But he seems to feel bad all of the time. He is down a lot and frustrated over all sorts of little things. And lately he has started sneaking food and putting on a lot of weight really quickly. [/QUOTE]
