[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone mentioned DBT? This sounds like emotional regulation issues to me, and DBT is supposed to be good for this type of thing. The ASD rigidity and inflexibility, combined with the sometime-lacking social/empathy component (at least in our case), make this type of situation hard. Plus, any teen is going through a lot and an emotional rollercoaster, so these kids are super tough. Hugs.[/quote]

Oh gosh. I don’t think anyone has mentioned DBT. There isn’t a lot of research about its effectiveness for ASD, and it requires a ton of time, money, and buy-in to do it right. We were led to believe that this was the only approach that would help our late-diagnosed ASD teen, and it was a source of misery for us. Maybe it’s worth a try, but I think it’s really unfortunate that people keep suggesting it for ASD. The radical acceptance part alone is a massive challenge for these kids.

We finally found someone who could get through to our kid, with improved medications, parent training, and therapy (not in DC). The medication made way for everything else to start working, but it was a slow process.

Dr j marshack prescribes it for asd adults or teens. They need to rehabitualize many things and that takes time and a third party. Takes a year to graduate all the modules. [/quote]
