Which therapy, help!

NAS85673

My son has been diagnosed at age 9 recently. Which therapies do you recommend?

he was recommended CBT by the psych but I’ve heard mixed reviews and how they can try and change their mindsets to fit which just doesn’t work for ASD people!

  • It may be that your son is not broken so does noit need to be fixed. The analogy I would use is someone who is left handed does nit need to be taught to be right handed. I was not diagnosed until after I had retired and I now realize that being Autistic has enabled me to have a long and successful career. That is not to say I have noit had issues to deal with but most have been due to having to fit in with the rest of the non Autistic world. I may have failed to be normal but have succeeded in being Autistic. Being Autistic gives us special talents which I have been able to use to my advantage. 

    That said, trying to fit in with today's education system can be a challenge for Autistic Children.
