Abandoning Traditional Autism Programming With a Modern Approach
For decades, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) has been considered the gold standard in autism intervention, offering structure, skill acquisition, and measurable progress. Yet traditional ABA has often been criticized for its rigidity, compliance-driven methods, and lack of attention to the emotional, social, and cultural needs of learners. Abandoning Traditional Autism Programming With a Modern Approach is a bold and compassionate response to those concerns—a book that charts a new course forward.

A Blind Spot on Autism: Rethinking What Could Be Driving the Autism Pandemic
A Blind Spot on Autism is written for parents, clinicians, and researchers who recognize there is more to autism than abnormal behavior. This book provides a biologically plausible hypothesis for six critical unanswered questions at the center of the autism pandemic. These include why symptoms begin so early in life and can begin suddenly, why siblings share overlapping conditions, why autoimmune diseases cluster in families, why autistic individuals face a markedly higher medical burden across their lifespan which is sixteen to thirty years shorter than average, and why autism rates continue to rise exponentially which resembles a generational infectious epidemic.
