[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the therapist think he doesn't have it, then they can work on developing his weak areas. A diagnosis won't do anything anyway.[/quote] Kids learn social skills from their peers not therapists.[/quote] Maybe toddlers. This is an older child. My son benefitted a lot from the therapist discussing these things.[/quote] Doesn't matter the age of the child. This is based on research.[/quote] Not if you have autism -- that's kind of the point. Kids (and adults) with autism don't pick up/notice the subtle social cues through which everyone else learns social skills intuitively, through their peers. So they need an adult to teach them the basics -- explicitly -- and then facilitate peer interactions, pointing out expected and unexpected behavior.[/quote]
