Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from intense behavioral analysis (or ABA) instruction (also referred to as the Lovass method), where skills that are learned by observation by typically developing children are taught in small (discrete) segments. Many children with autism also benefit from diets that are free from gluten (wheat products) and casein (dairy products), both which may contribute to biological and physiological abnormalities that can hinder learning. I recommend that you contact the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc., which has an office in either White Plains, NY, or in Rochester, NY. You can access their website at centerforautism.org. The important thing to remember is that autism is a treatable developmental disorder, and that early and intense treatment can yield astounding benefits to the affected individual.
