My sister used to be part of the autism treatment programs funded by BC up in Canada, and I was honestly amazed how much the right kind of attention and order made in autistic kids lives. Strong cause and effect relationships for reward / punishment, time degrading incentives for participating in "normal" behaviors, firm willed discipline when they regressed to earlier outbursts or triggers, and a steady diet of signals for what is "ok" or not without smothering or coddling. Hell of a lot of work for her when they were pre-teens, but if they can get on it early, and produce these kinds of shifts when kids are still young? Could be awesome. Now just need a bigger sample than 7 kids.
