[QUOTE="buddy, post: 482046, member: 12886"] It is a great question. I was just thinking of this myself. We have done attachment work, that is specialized. But I have thought that lately Q needs someone to try to talk to. But since he doesn't have conversations that he doesn't start and doesn't take many turns...will mostly ask quesitons to keep a convo going... I wonder if it would help. But tonight he was bawling and said it would all be over if he killed himself. I am not convinced he will since he heard this kind of talk at the psychiatric hospital from others and may be imitating (which he does) but at the same time it was clear he is really sad about some things. Similar to your story. Hates being special needs child, etc. Wants to die but come back "normal". Like he will still find his presents under the tree kind of come back. I dont know it would help him but I will ask him and give it a try. did anyone ever find a therapist who worked well with a kid who does not play (so imaginative play therapy is out) and doesn't really have great convo skills?
