[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old DS just started scripting again after a significant hiatus...  He doesn't have a conclusive diagnosis but is probably on the spectrum.

For a while, his behavior seemed almost normal.  However, he just started kindergarten, and I'm noticing some regression.  In any event DS is scripting and generally behaves in a silly manner around others (excluding family).  I think he doesn't know what to say or do, so he scripts (random lines from his favorite movie), jumps around, and engages in very little give and take in conversation.  He is capable of being serious, but he's having a hard time staying organized.

DS is already in speech and OT and has long days at school.  We don't have time/money for more therapy.  However, what kind of professional would help with the scripting and social skills if/when we decide to add another therapy.  More impartantly, how can I teach my son not to script and to only speak when he has something relevant to say?

Thanks[/quote]
