Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Ann, Yes, things certainly change for our kiddos when they reach adolescence. I am pulling for you -- the teen years are such a tough time for kids with autism. I don't look forward to them. On ABA...keep in mind that edibles aren't the only reinforcers to use in an ABA program. So you can reduce the candy and such.... I'm with ya on throwing money out the window! It is so hard because you really want to do everything humanly possible to help your child, so you try everything, then eventually weed out what doesn't seem to be working. We are currently doing no supplements and are only G & C limited, and my son is doing okay, but I pray every day that it will stay this way. Thanks for your encouragement.
