[quote=Anonymous]So I found (or refound) the Ross Greene stuff after we had tried everything else. PCIT, CBT, DBT. All of it. I totally hear you that the method seems particular and difficult to implement. But recognizing for us that kids do well if they can, and that my kid was not able to meet expectations for a long while helped so much. In retrospect, I think my kid was deep in autistic burnout/fight or flight mode. (Asperger Experts guy talks about this a lot.) Without this model, I don’t think I could have removed my expectations in the way that I did. We are about 9 months out. My kid is now going to school, brushing his teeth, not being aggressive, doing chores, self-regulating screens. It isn’t perfect and he still won’t engage in a lot of the conversations which makes it challenging, but using pieces of this model have helped us so much. I do think that there are some kids - esp some bright autistic ones - for him consequences do not work, who will not have an extinction burst. For us, trying something very different brought us a lot of peace. That said, I know how deeply awful this all is. And how scary! [/quote]
