[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would approach the situation with more compassion for your child. If it's a defense mechanism, what does he feel like he has to defend? How is his self-esteem? Is he just looking for validation, for somebody to say, "hey, your situation is a bummer, I'm sorry that happened to you?" Are you being defensive when he blames you, or are you able to deescalate? It's always helpful to look at behavior as a communication of a need rather than immediately pathologizing it. [/quote] Op - this is a great point. I think as sn parents we are so used to pathologizing that sometimes we get in our own way. My gut is it’s likely a component of rsd but also to your point a reaction to something more. It does permeate everything though so I feel like I am constantly trying to solve for it and it does feel like a brain difference is at play [/quote]
