And even "fool" the Psycologist! I know, I played with a Psycologist so he could not diagnose me correctly when I was a little girl. I knew exactly what the Psycologist wanted, and I was onto him! I was not going to reveal my strangeness to a stranger! Does anyone know the feeling? You put on masks the whole time, fooling just about everyone!

She finally told me about 2 weeks ago, when I noticed she was talking a lot to what appeared to be nothing and I asked what she was talking to.
Can this be normal with kids with AS? Could it be obsessive thoughts and not actual voices? She said the voices sound different than her own, one being what sounds like a mans voice she said.

A few months ago he started having violent outburts and I had to take him to the emergency services department at his mental health provider. The powers that be at the center decided that he needed in home therapy to help manage some of his issues. The therapist comes 2-3 times a week and I have to say that it is going no where. My son barely listens to what he has to say. Half the time I look at this person and wonder what the heck is he doing. My son doesn't undestand half of what the therapist says. He wants my son to use nonsense words instead of cursing. Take deep breaths and meditate, and to stop mid meltdown and ask himself "how can I do this differently". Really???
Is he serious? my son lives in the moment. not yesterday or tomorrow, not even 5 minutes from now. Half the time after my son's meltdown is over he doesnt even recall what started it. After having dealt with these issues since my son was 3 I know what the precursers are, what situations to avoid, etc... His therapist is not considering his autism at all. Has anyone else run into this type of situation? please advise. thanks
