Question

"During a recent intake session, the child's mother mentioned she is givng her child 'chlorine dioxide' as a daily supplement. I did not think much of it and thought it was like any other normal vitamin. She said it was to 'clean her son's gut,' as she believes that gut health is imperative to reducing autism symptoms. I did more research on this after the intake and discovered that it is a popular but very dangerous non-evidence-based treatment that some parents of ASD children are adopting. The chemical is often marketed as 'Miracle Mineral Supplement.' Considering this new information, as a BCBA, I really don't know how to move forward or what I should do. Do we tell the mom about this? What would we tell her? Would we have to tell her to stop giving her child the solution before starting intervention? I just don't know. I am looking forward to your response."

What core principle is lacking in this scenario?
