Someone, Say Something!

Today CNN rolled out the "Autism Partnership" intervention model for persons labeled "Autistic.

What was left out is the connection of "Autism Partnership" program with ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) philosophy and approach to helping autistic persons.

My complaint is simple...CNN should have clearly spelled out the limitations of ABA methods.
Further, If families were fully informed of ABA limitations they might seek alternative programs.

Come on CNN, tell the whole story or nothing at all! Truly help people help themselves with accurate and complete information.
