<p>Contributed by Steve Buckmann

<p>"...One issue to consider is whether there has been an inordinate amount of attention paid to the variable of "recovery from
<p>autism," to the extent that it masks and overshadows the utility of behavioral treatment in general. Certainly, there is the
<p>possibility of creating false hopes for families, something which has almost become a trademark among interventions
<p>applied to people with autism. However, no one has questioned whether the studies conducted by Ivar Lovaas (either the
<p>1987 study or the 1993 follow up study on the same subjects) resulted in substantial positive behavior change....The use of behavioral techniques is not limited to the "Lovaas Method." Applied behavior analysis offers parents and
<p>educators a wealth of educative strategies to address problematic behavior as well as to teach appropriate alternative
<p>behaviors...."

<p><b>Introduction</b>
<p>When we first heard our son's diagnosis, I went into research mode.  
<p>I scoured the web for information on autism and therapies and the law.  
<p>There was a lot of searching, backtracking and scrounging to get papers to read.   
<p>I was lucky to have the research background and computer skills to do this search.   
<p>This is a website to help others get access to information quickly.
