PBS

Non-profit TV and radio broadcasting is my go-to.  PBS is (roughly) the American version of the BBC and is often very informative and sound.

I also enjoy the taste and feeling of so-called "isotonic" drinks quite often too.

However, I struggle to see how either of these things would especially help your son unless he is thirsty or has a thirst for knowledge and learning?

PBS means positive behaviour support. It is a therapy

PBS to me, means phosphate buffered saline. Must have made gallons of it over the years.

Hi!

Just so you know PBS is a form of behaviourism similar to ABA which the autistic community is heavily against due to the fact that it is traumatic and strongly associated with outcomes of PTSD and poor mental health. This is because behaviourism focuses on changing the person and forces them to suppress autistic needs such as stimming which is incredibly harmful.

Instead support for your young autistic person should focus on acceptance of who they are and understanding their autistic experiences and help to meet sensory needs for example.

Thank you.

Cool.  Thanks for explaining that.  I'll take a look.
