[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have experience with NT kids, but kids at that age are selfish F's. A friend's son didn't talk to her for his entire senior year. They went to go visit a college and he literally did not talk to her. Ten years later they take at least two vacations together.

I think therapy is good because are you really sure you want to cut off your kid? This friend taught me to just love on them and let them come back to you. I'm doing that with kids that don't seem all that in to me. But, I want them to call in the middle of the night. I'll always be here for them. GL!

It’s hard to tell what the catalyst was in your Op — the midnight health scape, they called you, you tried to help, every be got through it and then the child got angry at you?

Knowing their Dx, I would “brush off” that anger as pent up stress and scaredness.  No sleep perhaps too.

True, a mature adult should not go get angry with others after starting a mini health scare crisis. And if they did, they should apologize once calmer.

But layer in whatever pattern if symptoms your child has, you kind of have to set a boundary and say, “glad you solved this, let’s talk once we’re better rested and calmer”

And just repeat that to anyone, including family members, who is getting angry, raised voices, irrational, whatever.

Then be positive. We learned student health services! [/quote]
