[QUOTE="Malika, post: 588402, member: 11227"] Thanks both. I guess I have to work on the assumption that a little is better than nothing, even if it is not a lot... I ask myself... what has actually helped J so far in his life, concretely? I think being with other kids, being "socialised", as they say. Perhaps tennis, gym, riding in some way I can't really define (concentration a bit?) The one to one private tuition helps him. I realise... that we have got this far without any professional help and because of that I guess I don't really expect any now or see things in those terms. Even though it may well be helpful, obviously. The best thing about J, while we are on the subject, is his sense of humour. He's got this absolutely infectious laugh and this love of playing imaginary games (role plays) that set him/us off into paroxysms of giggles. Favourite at the moment is where we pretend to be a wicked witch inveigling a child into her house with all sorts of outlandish and flowery endearments (my little chickadee, my little honey blossom, my perfumed cupcake - each new expression sending him off into a gale of delighted giggles) only to do a volte face once inside the house and become a roaring demon who eats the little boy... I think I use humour more than anything else to move him on/out of negative states. [/QUOTE]
