I actually work for one of the owners f autism centers in Northern Michigan. I am one of his son's (autistic) caregivers. He himself has seen where ABA has done awesome with children but nothing with others. his own son seems to have reached a plateau of what he is going to learn at age of 14.
But I must say that your son sounds as if you did an amazing job!!😎 Kudos mom!!!

The autistic center only takes clients18 years and under. It would be very interesting to see how aba works with adults!! Keep us posted please!!

High functioning. He drives and finally passed tests to get him into college. Got one A and failed the other. He just got back from a mission trip with his church to Italy where he has several meltdowns

I dont know about DTT but we have seen real improvement since we started ABA about a year ago. Unfortunately my sons benefit runs out when he turns 21 so we need to take advantage while we can.
