[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684979, member: 17309"] And this would be more what we'd experience. Actually, I can't even imagine the tantrum that would result - he would be so LIVID if we were to suggest this. I'm serious...he would go berserk! The last time I suggested he see someone for depression it was "Do you really think I'm that BROKEN?" His very words! To suggest he has an autism disorder - I can't even imagine! I'm rather shocked that he agreed to counseling this time when I suggested it for anger management. Because I didn't think he was serious, I waited until the next day and asked him when he was calm, he said he agreed he needed someone to just vent to who he could tell everything. That's better I could even hope for! This is the closest he's ever gotten to agreeing he has issues. You see, if he has a problem, that means HE has a problem. It's not that everyone else is wrong and he's right...which is what he wants to believe. Heck, he quit the last counselor because she told him that [I]maybe[/I] if everyone else says what he's doing is wrong...then what he's doing [I]IS[/I] wrong? He was done with her. So you see folks, it's not that WE'RE resistant to this. It's that we've TRIED to get him to see someone, even just a counselor, and [I]at best[/I] he's agreed because we wanted him to do it...but mostly he's become angry and refused and the suggestion that something is wrong with HIM just made things worse.
