[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520483, member: 12886"] Does she work with kids who have autism? Q sees a counselor and it is the first time I haven't fired one in 15 years. If a child does not have representational play skills, can't take the perspective of others then that is the type of therapy angle needed. His play (positioning things up ---true they dont all make straight lines, one kid I know put all animals with antlers facing eachohter, Q makes parking lots around the house and piles up "guys" to have parties when he watches NASCAR etc.)--does sound typical of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). (inc the liking to be with others, but doing chase games etc... our preschool autism class was filled with that kind of play and each kid had the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)). Q's counselor works from an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teaching perspective, using social stories, cartoon scripts to teach about feelings and perspectives, board games with practice answers, etc. LOTS of visual cues to practice how to calm himself and recognize levels of emotion. Learning coping skills, like squeeze relax (they squeeze their hands and relax... Q has done that since preschool) and other Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) types of skills (blowing pretend candles on his hand...as each one is blown then the finger goes down so they are doing deep breathing...and counting...) etc. Can you ask if there is anyone who knows how to work with kids who have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) characteristics?
