[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 371356, member: 1550"] I have a son on the spectrum and in my opinion she needs autistm interventions. The k ids do tend to be smart, but as they get older their social deficits really pop up and they tend to act inappropriately. My son was popoular as a young boy too because he was silly and ran around and the k ids followed him. But asa he got older, and relationships became more complicated, such as having to have give-and-take, heart-to-heart talks, he was clueless. Being social doesn't make one socially appropriate or able to read others. Also, autistic kids tend to frustrate easily and act out (due to their neurologial differences) and often they see parents as peers rather than authority figures (in their world, everything must be fair and all people are equal, age is not a factor). I strongly recommend getting her invnolved in the normal Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions for autistic kids. What works for typical kids will very likely not work for autistic kids because their brains are wired differently...not worse, just different. I don't personally feel that a therapist, unless he is specific to autistic kids, will be of much help as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do not connect well with others nor communicate their thoughts well and it takes a specialist in autism to know how to draw them out. Also autism is not a psychiatric problem. It's a neurological problem that includes behaviors that look like a less experienced therapist could call it a psychiatric problem. Some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids have psychiatric problems too, but your daughter was doing so well, to me it just sounds like the normal Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) frustration of them not understanding the world and acting out of frustration. And even very bright Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids still don't really "get" social ques/norms. If they do, then I'd question the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. Your daughter sounds so bright with a lot of potential. I would not ignore the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) aspect of her development. My son got nowhere going to psychiatrists and being put on medications . The school interventions really helped him a lot. And the older he gets the more different he seems from other kids yet the more same he seems...if this makes any sense fo you...lol. I wish you luck and welcome back. Did you have a different name before? [/QUOTE]
