The best reward: for him is not food. Kids with autism can be satisfied with rewards other than food like music or an activity. It really depends on the kid. I know food is the easiest reward but if he is already very overweight, you are not doing his overall health any favors. Sorry, I know this is not what you want to hear but I sincerely want your son to have the best possible health and behavior.
