[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is the kid? The answer would be very different if 5 years old or 17.[/quote]

My child is 15 and has autism. He is has a flat presentation, verbal communication issues, and emotional regulation deficits. He is easily agitated and will physically lash out when upset frustrated.

I have no intention of doing anything that will be problematic for him. [/quote]

PP with the suggestion you liked.  With this added information, I think it's even more important to run the contact by/through the therapist.

Your ex probably will need professional help to re-establish any positive relationship.  Because he may not know how to make a meaningful apology and how to keep in-person contacts positive with a teenager who views life through an ND perspective.

I would say to be cautious about in-person meetings.  Maybe stick to Zoom calls of a predetermined fixed length (controllable environment, easily ended vs. a visit).[/quote]

Thank you, pp. I am going to def work with the therapist. She is a great advocate for my kid and is concerned with their wellbeing and safety. This is a huge minefield to navigate. I cannot let my kid be layered with trauma. It’s not happening.

Thank you for your kindness.[/quote]
