[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for posting. This is OP - I really appreciate it. Just knowing there are others out there who have made it through to the other side, or a different side, makes me breathe easier. I just felt so worried when someone suggested ABA, and mentioned how important it is at ages 1-3 for kids with ASD, and I felt like we missed valuable time and like I've been doing things wrong. Everyone says treat the symptoms, but I feel like all along what we really have needed is behavioral help and it has been hard to get. I kept thinking that abating the delayed skills would correct the behavior, but it seems that for him, behavior is just part of the issue.

I also have a quick temper and get frustrated and my anxiety about the situation is not helping me be the best parent. I have read Kazdin, and we did not do it earlier because he was not ready, but I actually think it is a great idea to start that now. Thank you for reminding me. And thank you all for being great, thoughtful, careful parents who have already been doing this for longer than me and are willing to help and share. It really makes me feel less alone and sad.[/quote]
