There are lots of other techniques that have been tried through the years. Few have delivered on the promise of a cure, or recovery, or whatever people want to call it when they think the autism has gone away.
Quackwatch has been around for a long time to help people ferret out all kinds of questionable medical claims. The autism world is so susceptible to these, Quackwatch has devoted an entire page just to autism.

More for TxP2P friends

Many wanted to know more from the morning session Dan and I had about adults with autism, and the highs and lows for their parents.

The big question for so many of us: where will our child live?

Dan invited parents to join an ongoing discussion on Facebook with the AutismOne folks. You have to join facebook for that. There is a separate website for their adult residential services think-tank.
Also, Mark and I were inspired by the story of Bittersweet Farms, which we first learned about in the early 1990s. A big part of the reason we moved our family from the big city to a small farm was the beauty of what these people were accomplishing and hoped that some day, we could replicate it.
