[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 400719, member: 7083"] My NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) daughter was like this until...I don't even remember when. She was always so angry at me. In her mind, I was at the root of all of her problems and if the therapist could just fix me then she would be fine. :rolleye: For the most part, I didn't engage. I would answer/respond to her one time and when she continued to go on and on and on about it, I didn't engage except at times to say that I already answered that. I also held the mirror up to her. She really didn't like that, but she did think about it later. Therapy has been huge. It has taken a long time to find the right fit with a therapist. And it took a long time (over a year) with this therapist before she got over the "therapist needs to fix me and nana and her brother and then I will be ok" line of thought. However, even though she was still thinking that way the way she responded to us improved. My daughter also has depression and severe anxiety to go along with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). For my daughter, it seems she doesn't have any empathy. However, I've learned that she has an immense capacity for empathy, she just doesn't know how to show it appropriately. Beth, a neuropsychologist diagnosed my difficult child. [/QUOTE]
