I had a friend who enlisted the help of the Son-Rise program. Essentially it is a "cure" for autism. It's expensive because you hire someone to come to your house and "evaluate" your child (and how you interact with him/her) and then prescribe a therapy regimen, then it seems rather involved with videotaping and and having a particular "play room" for this child. My friend had most of that stuff already because she was wealthy.
I know it involved locking your child in the play room to establish "boundaries" and schedules. It also involved "loving the autism out of your child". Which seems like a self-contradiction to me.

I don't know what would be entailed if you went to the Son Rise HQ, I just heard what happens when you hire one of them to come to your house. They work with your child and then work with you. I know it costs thousands for a weekend.

Sounds like a completely BS programme to me and I read somewhere that the little boy whose parents started it off didn't even have an offical diagnosis of autism.

I think it's fine to love your child and provide special toys but cruel to lock them in their room all day.
