  • Hi Jim

    I feel very uncomfortable that my response to Francesca's request was edited in this way.  I read her request as asking for studies that provide evidence to show how a child can be supported to communicate in a reciprocal way.  I responded with citations that provide this evidence, including some studies that provide evidence for the efficacy of RDI (as this supports children with autism to communicate reciprocally). 

    My edited out post continues by giving further citations that support the view that working on core difficulties in autism makes a significant difference to social communication and understanding.

    I don’t understand why there is a problem with quoting these (peer-reviewed, published) studies? Surely this is exactly the kind of information (about any intervention, not just this one) that people should be allowed to share on this kind of forum? 

    I hope I'm not coming across as a stroppy cow in challenging your editing - I just think we need to be really clear about the rationale for editing in this way.

    Thanks
