[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually thought the thread was going quite civilly given the topic and previous history.  OP knew this was a "loaded" question when she asked it. But the last page or two has degenerated.  I am not sure if the two PPs who seem to be having it out between MERLD and autism know that while quoting the other's posts, their responses do not seem to respond to points made in the quoted posts.  For me at least, it makes it very hard to follow.

I don't particularly have an axe to grind here, but I am the NP who posted about getting a bad,though expensive, wrong steer from Stixrud and got a lot better help from a psychiatrist and a good SLP.  I really don't see how ABA would have been better than language therapy from a cost in terms of time and dollars to benefit basis.

Without knowing much about it, ABA seems a bit over sold.  One of the quotes given from some ABA association even said ABA could be used for OCD--this just seems wrong to me as exposure and response prevention therapy is best practice for OCD.[/quote]

Welcome, well said and hope you will stay![/quote]
