[QUOTE="buddy, post: 582943, member: 12886"] Q would say things like that too. But I knew he didn't really want to die because he panics over symptoms asking for reassurance that he won't get a disease or die, lol. But I knew it meant he was upset and hurting and didn't have enough words to talk about it. I never told him to stop but did have to explain in middle school that if he told people he was going to kill himself or commit suicide, people would have to respond and he would have to leave school and go to the hospital for tests. We explained why. He said, well that's what X ( girl from his hospital stay) always said. (He imitates noises and words and behaviors of others). He eventually asked me if he could talk to someone about his "worries " and I found a great therapist who works with autistic kids. But she told the director she was afraid he would hit her so they quit. He was devastated so I didn't find anyone else. For us, it's hard to find a therapist who works well with kids on the spectrum.
