[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 467340, member: 1991"] Just a very quick note - "Son Rise" was the title of a book written by a father who reckoned he 'cured' his autistic toddler. The kid did do well but the whole thing is anecdotal. However, the techniques tis dad used were intuitive; he did what I always recommend which is - begin with the child and where the child is at. Start from there and work back towards teaching the child to connect. But don't force it too fast, the child has to feel in control and be the one to make the moves, setting the pace. Never forget that autistic kids at some level want to fit in, they want to please you once they make that connection. For me - we did not have access to any programs, we had to make it up ourselves. What I ended up doing had a lot of similarity to "Son Rise" as well as ABA (to a lesser extent). From the very beginning, when each of my children was born, I tried to connect with the child and give that child what they wanted. By the time difficult child 3 came along, I was skilled at it and could 'read' the baby well. As long as it wasn't a problem for me, I gave the baby what he/she wanted. And that stood me in good stead later on, when the autism diagnosis became apparent. So when we had problems with food, for example, I found ways to get the nutrition into the kids but also cater to individual tastes. Once the child felt secure that I would not sneak unpopular foods in, they were more willing to try these foods when I asked them to. "Try it this way." But once I detected a pattern - difficult child 3 hating creamy textures, for example - I learned to not push too hard in that direction. Oh, and "Son Rise" does not have any religious connotations. it was just the title of a book written by a father about his son. Marg [/QUOTE]
