I have worked with numerous LD's. Because ASD has as a major component deficits in Executive Functioning, focus, attention and inhibition, I have had tremendous sucess with students on the Spectrum.
TJ, a 12 y/o male with ASD was still bed wetting and presented aggressive/assaultive behavior towards younger siblings and classmates/instructors.
After 15 sessions TJ displayed the ability to self-monitor escalation of aggressive emotions/behaviors, ending physical attacks upon sibling
TJ now attends mainstreamed H.S., classes and no longer requires a F/T class aide
JR was a 17 y/o male dx'd with Aspergerscomorbid with ADD and ODD behavior. Due to gross/fine motor deficits and very low muscle tone he was anxious about any physical activities and exhibited poor self-concept
After 4 sessions he began to show generalized timing improvements and his self-confidence grew
After 12 sessions Mom reported he was self-initiating chores at home!
JR gained confidence in his athletic abilities and learned a left handed [non-dominant side] lay-up

ABA Resources for Recovery from Autism (http://rsaffran.tripod.com/aba.html) is a collection of resources for parents who want to learn about or implement ABA programs for their child with autism. I started this site in 1997 after learning first-hand how difficult it is to get accurate information about ABA and autism.
The site includes directories of ABA service providers, private schools, and special educationattorneys and advocates, both in the US and world-wide. It also includes years of 15 years of letters from parents describing their own difficulties securing effective services and their experiences with ABA.
Please comment on intramuscular (IM) or other autism therapy topics.
