Re: Salutatorian With Autism Rocks Graduation Speech

[Guest guest]

That is a great story and indeed and his parents should be very proud of

what they have accomplished. However, I can't help but notice that this is a

mostly ABA or teaching method success that is being shouted from the roof tops.

How many hundreds or even thousands of kids that are recovered with biomedical

methods don't even get to the point of still needing one-on-one in high school,

or even in first grade for that matter. Also, how many schools in the country

are willing to offer that kind attention to someone with 's diagnosis? They

are very fortunate they had one, most people don't.

Sorry, but I can't help but detect media spin and selective reporting of the

facts in this story.
