22 months old son

My son was diagnosed with autism 

He is so emotional and intelligent and sweet but he doesn't always respond to his name and he doesn't speak at all

The Dr advised us to not do ABA therapy as it is a reward based system 

Please if you can advise me what to do 

I'm lost, sad and hopeless

  • So he doesn't speak and doesn't answer to his name so now you are asking if he needs therapy at the age of less than 2 years old??? What on earth were you expecting from him in all honesty and why are you feeling sad and hopeless? I'm genuinely interested.

    Maybe have another one and pray they cook you breakfast in bed while singing the alphabet, then you won't feel so bad.
