22 months old son

Reta

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 

Parents

  • My son is almost 3 and I can sympathise as one year ago we could barely communicate with him either and I also felt sad and hopeless, some days I still do as he can't communicate like other children. He also lacked eye contact until I started an online programme for ASD children called Gemiini. It's honestly been amazing in helping my son with eye contact and learning to communicate. Its no miracle worker, we still don't have full sentences but its definitely helped alongside all the useful strategies, which we incorporated into daily life, from his speech therapist.
