The Joy of Being a Normal Teen-Ager: The first two weeks, we all noticed a difference. We went from constant aggression to almost just pure conversation.
When things aren’t working, it’s my job to give my child the best possible opportunity and resources. He was not diagnosed with autism, but he fit some of the buckets more towards that intermediate range between ADHD and autism. And the group therapy wasn’t working.
He was with kids that were troubled and that just wasn’t him, so that was worthless. It even had an adverse effect. He couldn’t learn to talk to people. He’d be fidgeting under the table. Absolutely worthless.
