Ready for CBT?

hopanka

Hello ladies,

I've heard on here that CBT can be a powerful tool to help ASD kids with anxiety, as long as they are developmentally ready for it. My 7 year old DS has trouble with anxiety and so I've been wondering, if now is the right time to give it a go.

How does one know whether their child is ready for it? How should I go about it and how should I select the right psych/therapist? We currently don't have a psych. We are in Los Angeles.

Thank you!

Ditto that. My Aspie is now 12 and the computer helps her so much. She uses it as an outlet and learning tool and it tends to calm her.
