[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 288954, member: 1233"] It sounds a lot like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to me also, although I must say that my difficult child has not show the loss of language and hiding, but he is very high functioning, and sometimes disturbingly verbal (he spoke nonstop from the day he learned to speak until he was 8, Nonstop. He even babbled in his sleep!) Does your son do this for any other visitor or professional? Do you stay and see what the therapist does with him for the entire session or leave them alone? I would suggest telling your son you will stay with him for the entire session and then see if he acts differently over the next few sessions. I don't have a clue if anything is going on that could cause this, and I do not mean to imply that anything improper is going on. I just wonder if something that goes on in the therapy sessions is upsetting him to the point that he cannot cope. If you are there for the entire sessions and the behavior does not subside, then the neuropsychologist is an excellent step to find out what exactly is going on. I would call NOW to get the referral process started so you can get scheduled. Often there is a substantial wait and this will keep the process from being delayed. I just think you should try to find out what, if anything, the therapist is doing during her sessions with difficult child that could trigger this behavior. On the off chance something is going on during the sessions with the therapist, a child with AS might be UNABLE to verbalize what the problem is. To you or anyone. It might leave him feeling trapped and alone. It is just a base that needs to be covered, NOT an implication of wrongdoing on the therapists part. I am sorry things are so difficult. I do NOT mean to imply you are not doing what you can. I am sorry if my post implied that I did. Many parents who come here do not know what an Occupational Therapist (OT) is or that they might play a role in helping a child with AS. I was one of those people. I had to have several people here give me the advice I gave you before I took that step. Sorry if Iimplied anything that upset you. I was very doubtful that an Occupational Therapist (OT) could help my kids and she did, in fact, help them tremendously. She kept him from being diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or AS. Many of his adaptive behaviors looked like his bro with Aspergers. I will always wonder if Wiz had had Occupational Therapist (OT) for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) as a toddler if maybe he would have developed differently. So I wanted to make sure this was checked out for your difficult child, NOT to imply you didn't do everything you could do for him. [/QUOTE]
