[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 104474, member: 3907"] Sometimes the gender of the therapist can make a difference. My difficult child does MUCH better with female therapists and EAs, but with male teachers. With the therapists and EAs, it seems that he gets into a competition for dominance, which doesn't seem to happen with the females. He listens and participates much better. With teachers, on the other hand, he seems to accept the authority of men better than women. I'm not sure where this comes from, as he has had strong male and female influences in his life. However, this pattern seems to work well for him, so we've tried to accommodate it. If it might help the situation with your difficult child to have a male therapist, and you can find a good one that you're comfortable with, then I don't see the harm in it. Best of luck, Trinity [/QUOTE]
