[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 392905, member: 1550"] Ditto with those who are tired of professionals who don't like labels. How can the child get help without knowing what is wrong? Aspergers is not just treated with therapy. It is a MEDICAL neurological disorder...the kid's brains are wired differently. Often they act like they have no empathy as they can not express it and have a hard time understanding other people. It does NOT mean they have attachment disorder. in my opinion I'd lose this therapist and go to a neuropsychologist for a diagnosis first off. Then you can go from there. I have no idea how this therapist can help you. At any rate Neuropsychs do a lot of testing and can diagnose kids and regular therapists legally can not diagnose and usually don't test at all. Aspergers kids are often very gifted in school, but are clueless about life and people. We can't diagnose here, but it sure sounds like Aspergers. If he has that, he will need spescial interventions, not talk therapy. Often they have trouble with talk therapy because they don't relate well to other people. My own son has improved at least 80% through the years with a lot of help. If he has Aspergers telling hm how you feel or time outs or other regular parenting tips probably won't do any good. You need to learn about Aspergers and work with somebody who understands the disorder and can help you help him. Take care :) [/QUOTE]
