Inside autism, What's a parent to do?

When ordinary services fail, they find their own ways and their frustration leads to sharing what worked for their child with others, in the event it may help another child.
Susan Ellis from Marietta, Georgia, is just one of many such parents. Her son Ryan couldn't learn how to write.

Along with his occupational therapist, Marnie Danielson, Ryan's mom created a video using chants and it worked for him. Like many parents, she shares her success because it may work for another child with autism. She's made her videos commercially available via her Web site.

Helping Others By Helping Ryan

Susan Ellis' son Ryan needed help. She came up with an innovation she says is so good, it could help other kids dramatically.

Not long ago, his mom was saying something else. It was enough to bring her to tears.
“Three years ago, he was a nightmare. He couldn't talk,” Susan said.
