[quote=Anonymous]I’ll share a different perspective. My kid definitely has autism and I stay far away from the social skills groups for the same reason: The other kids there needed much more support than he does. He’s able to make friends and interact in age appropriate ways. My kid does stimm and I stay away from ABA. I don’t want him to mask, I just want my kid to find socially acceptable workarounds. If he’s feeling disregulated while we’re in church he knows he can tap my arm and I’ll take him outside so he can run around the trees and rebalance. What I do a lot of is speech therapy and occupational therapy. OTs are great at helping kids figure out strategies for how to engage more with the world. [/quote]
