In a large-scale review of 4120 citations and 183 articles representing
153 studies on treatment effectiveness of
autistic children , the authors (Warren et
al, 2011) concluded that drugs have virtually
no effects other than muting 'challengin
behaviors' (noncompliance, hyperactivity,
self-abuse). In fact, the sparsity of long-term follow-up
likely indicates no long-term effects
of
these treatments. This is not surprising
when one considers the paradigm in
which
these behaviroal programs have been
conducted
- labor intensive, training intensive,
and
situation specific (university research
clinic,
insitutions, etc.). Such paradigm is
not
practicable and if it is, cannot be
sustained
overtime. Many parents and teachers
burn
out after a while of trying these behavioral
procedures. |
