3:49 Is increase in babbling after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad thing?

I want to update and ask you some questions. My son right now, 3 years 6 months old. Has been in ABA since 3 years old, first 20 hours per week and we increasing per month. Right now, he is in ABA therapy for 50 hours per week (in 3 different centers in Jakarta) and 2 hours per week sensory integration and occupational therapy. After very intensive ABA this 1 month, he increasing eye contact, tacting, labelling, manding, some intraverbals (answering questions). But, still very little spontaneous sentence or comment, and not yet conversational sentence. He is also increasing in babbling, random speech (not functional and also functional words). My questions, what can we expect from the therapy? Can very lot of ABA therapy cause overdose? Is increase in babbling (between functional words) after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad things?

How long does intensive ABA therapy will last? What outcome we can see in the upcoming months or years? Right now he still in minimal verbal stimming (can ABA therapy reduced or minimize/disappear the verbal stimming?) (My son can interact like hugging, kissing, say good bye, kiss bye, he is a sweet and cheerful, playful boy)

50:25 Self Injurious Behavior (Banging Hands on Hard Surfaces)

I wrote in a few weeks ago for Dr. Doreen regarding my son\u2019s self injurious stimming. Shannon asked me to email her but I haven\u2019t had the chance, we were in crisis mode. We\u2019ve tried all types of replacements but nothing is working. He bangs his hand,wrist and knuckles and is causing swelling and bruises. It\u2019s not attention seeking. He likes how it feels when he bangs, He does it when there are no demands. He does it when he\u2019s alone, I\u2019ve had to buy him a glove to protect his hand, wrist, knuckles. He\u2019s happy when he bangs, He\u2019s laughing and playing while he\u2019s doing it, He does it in all settings and places.
