A major issue is that such impact for ASD is often (perhaps even typically) measured without bothering to ask the person whether they regard it as an improvement.
- sjg007 7y agoIntensive ABA therapy was shown to be effective in the 70s. We also know that the earlier you begin therapy the better the outcomes. So I should ask my 2 year old if they regard it as an improvement? My 3 year old? What about an infant? We see early signs of autism in infants. Not sure what you are on about here. You can see and assess improvement without asking a person. In fact someone with ASD might not even be able to tell you they feel improvement until much much later.
