Abstract
This essay asks and answers the question: Is it possible for children with autism to live a good life, to flourish? The notion of a good life that is used is borrowed from Aristotle. Initially, the answer is no. Left to their own devises, children with autism do not flourish. However, unbeknownst to the public, a significant percentage of children with autism can and do flourish when properly treated with the ‘new’ science of Applied Behavior Analysis.
