[QUOTE="Steely, post: 89255, member: 3301"] Great article. So MWM, what exactly would I ask for if I was getting this type of therapy for my son? I think you and I have talked about how therapy has never worked for my kid, but it seems this one you just suggested might. This is how black and white my difficult child is! His grandpa has a serious brain tumor, with not long to live. My son's response to the therapist when asked about he is coping with his grandpa is, "my Pop is dead". He literally knows he is not, but it is his way of being able to cope with the problem. I think he thinks, "How can you be dying? That is too gray and intangible. So I will make it concrete. He is dead." It scares me, to tell you the truth, to hear him talk this way. He seems to just be getting more and more rigid in his thinking. And I feel like I need someone to basically do occupational therapy with his brain, which is what you seem to be saying. So, where do I find these people? [/QUOTE]
