The Autistic ABA Therapist DVD

Is "recovery" possible? Kelly Londenberg, a 21-year-old therapist who has worked with over 300 autistic children believes that "recovery" is possible. Because of her extensive background in working with many autistic children and young adults, she has gathered years of practical experience and knowledge. But what is truly unique about her insightful knowledge is that fact that she is autistic herself.

In this video interview, Kelly shares her thoughts and experiences with autism and how it feels to be autistic. She discusses her experience with sensory problems, the pain of being touched, her difficulties with emotions, how food such as milk and bread affect her behavior and why changes in her environment affects her emotionally.

This video interview is a fascinating look into the mind of an autistic person who answers many question relating to her experiences and how she sees the world. For any family touch by autism, this documentary is an invaluable resource for understanding and helping others to understand what is truly going on in the mind of an autistic child.

A Must See DVD!
I am on my second year of teaching children with autism. This video is a must-see for anyone - parent, teacher, therapist - who wants to delve more into the world of autism. The therapist, Kelly, was very insightful into her world of autism. I have always heard how important diet is in autism and Kelly tells you why. I would have loved to see her work one-on-one with her students, but overall it was an excellent video! This would be a great video for mandatory teacher inservices.

The ABA Therapist
I learned many things about autism watching The Autistic ABA Therapist DVD. I was amazed to learn about the gluten and casien free diet would help with language abilities. The therapist described how she has heightened senses, for example, how her clothes would feel on her body.

A picture is worth a thousand words
As a teacher of students with Autism, I always wondered what is it like to have the disability. I also wondered how would I describe it to other professionals who are struggling to understand the phenomenon. The ABA therapist's description of what someone without Autism would have to experience to feel Autistic. This scenarios helped to put my questions in perspective. Her description of the three radios on static channels, the essay being read aloud and the disco bulb spinning all at the same time, made it easy to understand their world. I could only imagine going through this experience and becoming frustrated with all the distractions. This video also helped me to understand even further the need for persons with Austism to have lifelong support. It was refreshing to see that the young lady in the video could share her experience with the parent to help him understand his child's world.
