"autism intervention"

One person in a group asked what interventions worked for your child.
My reply -

We were lucky to get an amazing SLT who taught PECs properly.

Reading "the spark" by Kristine Barnett - this video is about her son Jacob (Jake) Barnett "Math and Science Prodigy" on 60 Minutes: http://youtu.be/g91IQsS2spA

I watched this - Autism - How My Unstoppable Mother Proved the Experts Wrong: Chris Varne...: http://youtu.be/T1HQKB2txgY

I watched this -

I watched this -

I watched this -

I read this -

And watched this -

And read this -

I read Carly and her dad's book - called "breaking through autism"

These are the most outstanding to me.   You say "intervention?" - I realised the medical profession is all over the place and don't really know yet, but in these studies, movies and books using mainly Kristine's ideas of more not less.  I realised I was Edward's intervention, if I thought someone else was going to do this for me I was sadly mistaken, he was right in front of me and I had to learn his language asap.  ..... And I don't think we are doing too badly at all. :-).

Bumblebee kids videos helped -

And an honourable mention to AutismNZ for their courses that are the closest to the same page as me and I would recommend to anyone working with autistic people.
