...in the hope that it will motivate him to get a grip.
Ds is... Lord knows, really. He's dx with ADHD and aspergers traits, and anxieties and phobias. He's 10. He has continence issues. The psych is the outreach psych because his normal psych referred to someone that could see him more often so that we could really attack the continence side.
She confused me completely with her discussion after the 1-1 with him, and effectively said as she left the house, that she doesn't think it's a physical medical or mental health issue, and if dh and I are prepared for him to be really uncomfortable (it seems as though she's talking about not making his bed / letting him sleep in soiled sheets or with no sheets if he doesn't change it all himself) then she thinks she can work through it with us.
She also said she has some techniques that she uses with adolescents (I'm guessing in an nt teen / parent conflict sort of situation) that can make it less of a stand off/ competition as to who can be the most stubborn.
Des anyone have any clue as to what she might be on about? She was talking to me as though I was a part of the problem (which is a whole new world for me, but I know loads of you have been there) - not actually saying it as such, but sort of looking disparagingly at me when listening to my replies about what we normally do, etc...
She's going to call me to arrange a time to get together to discuss without Ds, but I feel completely at sea. Is she really Just going to tell us to ask him to strip and make his own bed? Cos it isn't as though we haven't tried that in the last five years. And it really does get into a 'who is more stubborn?' thing.
Does anyone have any clue what's going on? any ideas at all?
