[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that most parents are willing to pour money into the therapies with the hope they will "fix" or "cure" their child. What most parents do not seem to be willing to do - work with their child outside the therapy hours on the same type of activities that occur in therapy or they are not willing to change their parenting style to match their child. Most do not want to change from time outs and reward charts, etc to other long term approaches that are not as easy but have better results.[/quote] Um, have you been at my house or at the houses of multiple friends I have with autistic kids? Our entire LIFE is parenting a child with autism. And reproducing therapy activities at home. And making sure our other child doesn't completely suffer because of this. Maybe you know people who do what you said above, but the parents of autistic kids I know are heroes, in my book, and work their behinds off to back up any therapy the kids receive.[/quote]
