[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

It's weird because I feel like I've of my hyper focus areas is just in problem solving. Give me a job saying to move things from bin 1 to bin 2 and I'll probably get fired within a week, but give me a problem / puzzle / confusing situation and I'll devote a lot of brain power towards correcting it.

I know what worked for me won't necessarily work for DS, but I am also one of two people who know him better than anybody else in the world. And not just that, but I see the genius in him. Part of me is not as excited about therapy because it didn't help (and in some ways hurt) my development. But it's not that I don't trust the therapists. It's more that I want him to believe in himself and that he can conquer these challenges. I know he'll have some that he won't conquer, or at least won't conquer initially, but I want to show him that it can be done, and not just in a movie but by him.

So we've done it with a lot of school stuff and now with bike riding. He has issues he needs to work on still and I'm just at a pause on exactly when we should see a therapist. Like on first seeing the problem?  After he gets frustrated?  After we get frustrated? What If my first idea works? What If my first one didn't? [/quote]
