Research for Applied Behavior Analysis: An ongoing debate in the autism community is whether or not recovery is possible. Researchers considered this idea in the context of early intervention with applied behavior analysis. Their definition of recovery was achieving a level of functioning that makes it impossible to differentiate between an individual diagnosed with autism and their … [Read more...]
Autism Symptoms Research: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea are often associated with autism.
