How I Cured My Son from Autism Naturally
Andrea discusses how she cured her son of autism in this book. Andrea found social skills coaching that worked with her son on real physical social skills. Her son quickly benefited from the social skills coaching that insurance companies claim is not medically necessary. As Andrea and her son began to learn social context and social thinking skills her son began to have more friendships in life.
Andrea began working three jobs to pay for social skills coaching out of pocket for her son. Andrea eventually highers a social sills therapist on a more permanent basis to work with her son on social thinking and context skills. Within a few weeks it is like her son is cured from autism. The changes that occur in her son's life are remarkable and unheard of in the autism field.
Andrea is also able to convince some of the therapists that provide her son services under the Medicaid waiver to take her son out to comedy clubs and bars on the weekends and bill Medicaid for their time under a different code. The trick to working with Medicaid is to understand what codes they will accept and what codes they will not and then work with your counselors and therapy teams to tackle some obstacles together. This is a great book that will help teach you how to cure your child from autism just like Andrea did.
Excerpt
"Basic social skills that the autism non-profit sector considers social skills are simple for someone who is verbal. What my son needed was advanced social skills. My son needed to be able to understand the concept of social thinking and he needed to know how to read the social context of every situation he was in. Those were two things that neurotypicals do without thought and no effort but to my son these two very basic things were roadblocks to relationships forming.
I began to study Michelle Winner and social thinking. To this day I give her a lot of credit for helping to cure my son from autism. If you have not heard of Michelle Winner I encourage you to look her up and check out her work on social thinking. As soon as I began to understand social thinking I thought to myself “This is something I do naturally every day without even thinking about it.”
