[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your teen want help? [/quote]

This is key. Does your teen want help?  If not, it is going to be very hard to find a therapist willing to take on the challenge.

Also, in order to make suggestions it would be very helpful to know the following:

Has there ever been a neurpsych evaluation? Were diagnosis eliminated or did they say r/o. Rule out actually does NOT mean it was ruled out. It means they have NOT ruled it out and the teen may have this issue. So r/o ASD means, the teen does not currently meet criteria, but the clinician wants to make note this is something to consider and may want to revisit it.

Does your teen have an IEP or 504? Any learning disabilities or mental health issues? You say your teen is neurotypical which I assume means there is no diagnosis of ASD or ADHD?

Is this new or has this been throughout life? If it's new, any triggering events? A major social issue at school/stress/illness/trouble at school/bullying/accident/injury.
