Applied behavior analysis does present a number of techniques for decreasing or modifying stereotypic behavior. A search of articles in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis will quickly point you to many of the interventions that have been used to target these behaviors. From your question I am unable to determine if you are saying that the child is two years old (in which case I am not sure how a diagnosis of Asperger’s disorder could be made) or if the child has been a patient of yours for two years. Most importantly, I am unaware of any children with autism spectrum disorders who present with demyelization. I believe this warrants additional medical assessment and follow up.
