ADR will be a working ranch for aggressive autistic adults providing a place to learn, & work. (Autism Speaks)

They can be unruly, and hard to control.

1 out of 36 people are born with autism, 62% of those people are males. (Autism Speaks). 68% of people with autism have been aggressive to a caregiver, with 49% to someone else. (Sparks)

“It is estimated 40% of people with autism are nonverbal”, 31% find daily function a challenge, 28% have self-injurious behaviors such as head banging, arm biting, and skin scratching.” 90% of deaths are due to wandering or bolting by the year 14. Most have not been disciplined because “they are autistic and don’t know any better”. They act out because they do not have the words to say what is on their mind. Because of all this, they get left out. Amazing D Ranch wants to take a whole new approach to autism as to what may have already been done for the clients in their past. We will explore all possibilities for the cause of behavioral issues: medical, psychological, and most importantly communication where it is lacking. We are focusing on everything leading to a client lead environment. We want the client to have a say in their future. We recognize this is a major undertaking for clients and staff to get to that point.

I get this question all the time and today I am going to tackle this question from a different perspective. I recently interviewed Armando Bernal, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and he was pretty significantly impaired. Now he's an autistic adult who is also a board certified behavior analyst. And we talk all about the ABA controversy.

Armando used to feel a little ashamed of autism, but then he made a shift and started disclosing it to people. “I wish I could go back and say, Hey, I had autism. But in the nineties and early two thousands, that wasn't the case. That wasn't something that you really wanted to disclose unless you wanted to be looked upon differently.”

It wasn’t until after he graduated college that he realized he needed to be more accepting of his autism and who he was. By listening to the parents of the children he was teaching in special education, he started to understand that his own experiences better helped him serve the kids. And that’s still true to this day.

Help! I am going to be starting Applied Behavior Analysis for my son who has autism. Can you tell me things to ask and what to look for in an ABA provider?

— Jane

I am so glad you asked this. Within the autism community there are mixed feelings about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). But, research has shown time and again that ABA is the most effective treatment for autism for reducing problematic behaviors and increasing adaptive skills! When correctly implemented ABA can be life changing, not just for your son, but for your entire family.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodivergent condition that affects communication, behavior, and learning. Psychologists use the term spectrum disorder because symptoms and support needs vary depending on the child. Although clinically defined as a disorder, having autism does not mean something is wrong or “needs to be fixed” with a child; it means their brain is wired in a different way from what is considered more common or neurotypical.
