Pivotal Area: Self-Initiations

In Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior, Temple Grandin indicates that children with autism may not independently develop the skill of asking questions about their environment. In the pivotal area of self-initiations, the goal is to help children develop the skill of making initiations and asking questions to gain information as a result of natural cues in their environments.

Strategies for increasing question asking skills can be found in chapter 2 of:

  1. As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication, , and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098765@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my story
