My difficult child, 11, on the spectrum, has plenty of issues that need working out (abusive situations at past school placements). But he absolutely will not speak to a stranger about this. He only will talk to me about it in short bits and if I ask too many questions he becomes very annoyed. We were at a psychiatrist appointment. last week and his level of anxiety was so great he appeared severly autistic (rolling around on her couch, hiding in his shirt, pacing around the room, making noises, screaming) and as soon as we were out of the office on the way to the elevators I just looked at him and said 'that was pretty embarrassing' and he sheepishly said 'sorry' and then we had a nice conversation about where we would go to lunch- back to normal.
So, do other kids on the spectrum go to tdocs? I just can't imagine mine 1)being able to sit for more than two minutes to talk about his issues
2)being able to not act like a maniac in the presence of a stranger
3) even his in home 'therapist' can't get him to open up about stuff, other than a few comments here and there
