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!

  • CBT really isn't helpful. I'd go down the route of art therapy as that's what I'm currently doing and I've found it so beneficial just to get my thoughts and rage down on paper. My therapist (group) is amazing too so that helps. I lucked out being able to get this in the NHS too as it's for neurodivergent (or those suspected to be) people.
