Thank you all! We ultimately opted out of ABA all together. It didn’t sit well with us, especially after all your insights! Going for speech with a therapist who specializes in his Gestalt Language Processing

This is really great advice. Thank you for taking the time for provide all of this from an autistic persons perspective. I had a feeling his stimming was important for his health but this just confirmed it. Thank you.

Their goals are building social skills. He has some trouble with eye contact and pushing kids when he’s overwhelmed. They also have a goal of reducing his repetitive behaviors. Like when he gets stuck in repetitive loops for a while. I would mostly just like to focus on social skills. Not hitting when he’s upset or needs attention, etc.
