[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I’ve only just started reading about PDA and a lot of the advice is about reframing demands to see more like a choice or a collaborative task. I’m more than happy to do this, and he has wonderful teachers and therapists who will do this too. I just worry for his future. His colleagues and boss aren’t going to keep rephrasing demands until he’s no longer triggered. I think everyone is becoming more understanding about what it means to be on the spectrum, but I’m concerned for his future relationships both personally and professionally. I appreciate what the PP is saying about my anxiety not changing the outcome, but I want to make sure I’m getting him the right help while he’s young so he develops good coping skills.[/quote] Op, we’d all like reassurance that our kids will be employable. You’re not going to get it at 6. Meet him where he is. Let go of this need to control the outcome. It doesn’t work that way.[/quote]
