[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 421428, member: 11482"] It's the stupidest most useless thing ever. Basically the concept is that when he starts to get upset he puts himself into a ball and breathes deeply. However, because he's basically explosive and loses it so quick that he doesn't have time to breathe deep and "become a turtle." It's idiotic and it was not helping at all, except that the PDR won't prescribe unless he's seeing a therapist. I still have no idea what to do. I have been trying to find him a behavioral therapist who does actual play therapy, but I'm having a hard time. I'm trying to figure out if our insurance is required by law to cover it. In CO (where we live) and in IN (where husband's company is headquartered) ABA is required to be covered, but our insurance company is BCBS of NE, and I can't get a straight answer if it's covered. I have a friend coming over tomorrow who has a bi-polar son and who's a psychiatric major herself, she's going to help me come up with a plan of action and she's going to help me weed though the therapists listed on our insurance to see if she can help me find one that would work for DS. I still really want him to be evaluated by an autism specialist. There are just some things. He doesn't have the traditional characteristics (avoiding eye contact,stimming), but the anger and social ineptitude, along with some other things (like the fact that I constantly find lines of cars everywhere). I've been playing phone tag with this center for weeks, but they always call back during the 10 minutes while I'm not home... [/QUOTE]
