Does behavior therapy help autistic kids?


There are some people who say it does. I am not an expert on the field and so cant comment much on it. My observations about most therapies for autism are that they all SUCK. These children are extremely withdrawn and it is difficult to get them involved in any type of therapy. Children are too young to comprehend or sit through a session of psychotherapeutic counseling. 
You can try and see if it works but I would not enroll for a whole series. Just try out a few sessions first and see if your child responds. Psychotherapy sessions are exorbitantly expensive and do not work all children with autism. Like obesity, autism is one medical disorder, where there are many charlatans who offer false promises- and only bring you great disappointment.
