[quote=Anonymous]My four-year-old son got an ASD diagnosis this spring, and we promptly started ABA a few hours a week with a BCBA who came highly recommended. After five and a half months, I still cannot tell if what she does is helpful. Do others with a highly functioning child with an ASD diagnosis find ABA helpful? For what in particular? My son is what would formerly have been labeled Aspergers (very verbal, self-taught reading since before 3, somewhat hyperlexic...), and I feel like he finds the ABA a game to outsmart. I do not want to be in denial if this is something my son needs - we definitely struggle with rigidity and other behavior challenges - but I would be very grateful for any thoughts from parents with similar sounding children on what they have found to be helpful. Thanks!

More broadly, who do you ask these types of questions? His preschool has a developmental specialist who has been amazing resource, but I sometimes feel like we are beyond the scope of her expertise. Do you consult regularly with the psychologist who diagnosed your child? Or somebody else? Thank you!![/quote]
