[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 574659, member: 1550"] Has this therapist had any contact with spectrum kids? She sounds very clueless, like she is trying to discipline a neurotypical child into not being defiant. Your son isn't being defiant...he is being Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). You can't force him to be flexible. With the right interventions and time it often happens, but not by force. I would go with somebody who is specifically treating Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) children because she doesn't get it. You can not teach or force V to get over his autism any more than one can teach a gay person to be straight. But a good therapist can help you work with V's differently wired mind and to give V appropriate interventions. [/QUOTE]
