    6:38 My child isn’t making progress, what have I overlooked?
    “My child is about to be 5, we have been doing ABA for the last 2 years.  We started during the shut-down, with just parent training but he now goes to the center 3 afternoons a week for 2 hours.  He is on the Gluten Free, Milk free diet.  I feel like we are doing everything right, but he is still only saying about 5 words and we are still having lots of hitting and aggression toward his baby sister and no one can get any rest. He is often up all night for days on end.  What am I missing?  Please help.”
    22:06 “What is the average number of Trial sets per hour for a 3.5 year old who has been in ABA full time for 6 months.
    If I switched my son's ABA clinic, how much of a setback can I expect and do you advise against doing this?”

    50:15 Working with 2 Different Agencies to Complete ABA Prescription
    “Hi. Our insurance approved 8 hours ABA for our daughter but can’t find any agency that can’t provide that. We started 4 hours last month with one agent that promised the full 8 hours soon, unfortunately our RBT quit without notice to us or the agency… now we are down to zero hour ABA… I’m thinking about working 2 different agencies to get the full 49 hours a week.”
    52:55 Post ABA
    “To all .. things can get better, but you must always learn to accept those that simply will not - but can improve.
    Dr., any thoughts on "post-ABA" when a child some basically "graduated" and needs help with things ABA cannot address”

JayJay in LA ,

Great podcast but!

Great podcast with tons of great information. I just listened to your episode on food and found it super interesting. But I have to point out that the symptoms you describe experiencing as an allergy to chocolate and ice cream are NOT food allergy!

As someone who is a parent to a peanut allergic kid it’s important that you characterize this stuff correctly. You describe symptoms by saying something like the food was not “sitting well with you” or that you can’t eat a lot of ice cream like you used to.

Food allergy refers to an IgE mediated allergy that affects the immune system. Even eating small amounts can trigger a range of symptoms like hives, wheezing, vomiting, and anaphylaxis and requires an epipen. In contrast, a food intolerance affects only the digestive system and causes less severe symptoms.

It’s important to get this stuff right for restaurants, public knowledge, etc so that people know the true severity of giving an item to someone with a food allergy that could be life-threatening vs an intolerance that would merely cause stomach issues.

Otherwise great and super helpful information!! I’m really enjoying your podcast.

Life Changing Information

Best show/podcast ever! I have been tuning in since my son was 4. He is about to be 14. The information is priceless! If you’re starting your Autism journey, this is the place to be! 💙💙💙

Some good info, not great navigation

From what I've heard so far, this podcast has some good info for service providers and families. I wish the episode list would provide a short blurb regarding the topic being discussed ...right now it either says "like autism live on Facebook" or it gives the name of the person or organization being interviewed (which is not helpful if you are unfamiliar with the person/organization).

Also, I wish there was an option to have audio only. Video podcasts are glitchy on my iPad and there is no need for video if you're only showing people are n an interview room. Video is useful when you're showing something in action, or showing how to do something, but it's unnecessary for interviews.
