Name: ryans mom Title: 6 years old with autism

My son has autism I just wanted to talk to some parents who were having some of the same troubles as me. Ryan is awsome looks totally normal and plays normal at least by himself. But as soon as he speaks its apparent. He mostly speaks gibberish. There are a few words and phrases that he will use mostly because he has them memorized and sometimes phrases or comments he will repeat.

It wasen't always like that though we have come down a long road of threapy and diffrent tried alot of diffrenet treatment with alot of diffrenet teachers and doctors, I put the leg work into it because I reallly thought these people were full of shit.

But now he is 6 and although we have made alot of progress it is 3 1/2 years of threapy later and he is still autistic.

I quess my question is what is the next step, what else can I do for my child? How can I make things clearer for him? I would love to be able to talk with someone with autism to pick there brain. I have often thought if I could just get a moment inside his brain then it would all make sense to me and then I could explain things in a way he would understand.
But we keep going over the same material and everyday it looks like something new. Everyday when he calls me dad to get my attention I have to remind him that I am mom then he mimic me and calls me mom. Does he know my name is mom? Can he just not remeber? How can I help when I don't know what is wrong?  ?
