We just finished a 3 day course with ASPECT on Autism for parents. It was very intensive and very helpful. On the night of the end of the course, we implemented some techniques we learned during the course (using visual prompts to get the boy to get ready for bed), and he followed them to a T, whereas most of the time he would fight us to keep playing with his toys, or just throw a tantrum!
The more I learn about Autism, the dread & uncertainty I have is slowly replaced by fascination. I look at the boy and think, "So that's what's going on in that little head of yours..."
