Working with kids with autism

There are so many beliefs and view points about children with autism and so many methods and techniques that are suggested by specialists. Parents and teachers just want to do what is best for the child yet the choices can be confusing. How do you know what techniques to use with your child? What will work? How do you avoid upsets and change behaviors?
