[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198063, member: 5975"] He's not getting ANY Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions - at all. The school does not recognize his diagnosis (I've got calls into several places for a second neuropsychologist to diagnosis him), and his current therapist does *not* work with Aspies, and and repeatedly stated she is NOT an expert in Asperger's. How do I go about finding someone who specifically works with Aspies? I'm in San Francisco if that helps... As for the martial arts, oddly enough, most of his outbursts seem to be repeats of his abuse, not the stuff they learn in class (they do NOT teach children to choke). When he is in class, he uses his brain to spar, when he is angry, it's like his brain doesn't work, and very, very rarely do any of his martial arts moves come out. I think also knowing this stuff gives him a sense of security - like if someone tried to abuse him again, he'd be able to defend himself, which, I can certainly relate to as a rape victim who takes martial arts herself... Oh, and my child sees a Behavioral Therapist who specializes in grief counseling (Adam's grandfather died last year - they were very close) once every other week or so (or once a week sometimes) but if he does indeed need someone who works with Aspies, then this probably isn't doing much good.
