[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 17739, member: 1550"] We solved the getting dressed problem, when Lucas was younger, by dressing him the night before and letting him sleep in his clothes. It made it much easier to get him ready in the morning. I don't have to do that anymore. I was at an event at school last night and there were quite a few Spectrum kids there that I hadn't seen for a few years. I'm always shocked by how much these kids improve. Unlike most disorders, rather than deteriorating, Spectrum kids tend to get much better with age. They still have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and they do need interventions, and conventional stuff still won't work with them, but they just seem to improve immensely. I don't know how it would be if they didn't get interventions, but I was shocked. A totally non-verbal kid two years ago was talking to his mother (garbled, but talking), hugging her, and was so much more alert and with it than two years ago that it staggered me. I hope you focus more on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions than behavioral mod beacause, if he is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the behavioral mod is in my opinion not anywhere near as good as helping the "different" child learn to cope in a world that he finds very confusing and frustrating. It just isn't the same thing as a psychiatric disorder, but requires different intervening and a different way of the parents looking at the child. They arent "bad"--they are trying to make sense of a world that makes no sense. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
