      ABA Working / Worked
      We've been doing ABA for 1.5 years and it has taught him so much. He's learn't how to play with toys appropriately, behave better and socialise. We do 15hrs a week and have 2 therapists that come to our home. I think that having it at home really helps to generalise, I use the same techniques in everyday life.
      Occupational Therapy Too Soon to Tell
      This is something we started a couple of months ago, our therapist is great and is working at getting closer to him. He's very independent and determined.
      Play Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I did Floortime for about a year and gave it up to try OT. All these things are rather expensive so I couldn't afford both. I am finding that OT is a better match with ABA.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Treatments

      Body for Life Somewhat Helpful
      This worked but I found it hard to maintain.
      Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
      Also using Celebrity Slim meal replacement shakes.
