Hi Maya thanks for giving us a medium to speak through. My autistic son is 12 years old, he was diagnosed as being severely autistic. We have come a far way and we still have a far way to go. He has made a lot of progress, I would appreciate any help I can get from you to build on my son's progress.

Mrs. Chung I want to say to u"keep the faith" My son is also Autistic, PDD NOS and did not speak when he was younger like your son, but Autistic children can learn and change certain behaviors. The important thing is to stay consistent and keep repeating and modeling appropriate behaviors. Also diet is important, change his diet to a Gluten Free diet, my son is now 13 and is an honor roll student
