[quote=Anonymous]Therapy is a very broad area. As is neurodivergence. It's not clear from your post what your kid's main issues are. A good therapist will be able to work with a client to come up with clear goals. For some kids, talk therapy is great but others benefit from modalities like DBT, CBT (often tough with ASD/PDA types IIRC). Others thrive with more obscure things like equine therapy. If you feel it's not effective, it might be time to revisit the goals and see if your therapist's skill set matches your child's needs It couldn't hurt to see a psychiatrist and talk about the issues. They can prescribe medication if they think it may help. Keep in mind that medication is not a destination but a journey. Often the first ones tried are not what patients stick with for various reasons.[/quote]
