I used ABA principals here at home for him. I didn't like the candy reinforcers. I homeschool him and still use a lot of ABA principals. It does my heart good when I hear about little ones like yours that will probably be off the spectrum one day. My son couldn't handle the Kirkman vitamins either. We've put that child through gobs of supplements too. I would cringe at the $ amount we've spent on stuff that we may as well have thrown out the window!
