Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi Everyone, We are still trying to figure out how to help my daughter, 16. She is the one who had residential treatment suggested. We have recently had a behavior analyst at the house to evaluate her for her cyber school IEP. She told me multiple times that 's main problem is Asperger's syndrome. I do believe she has mild Aspergers but I believe it is the OCD that is ruining her life, causing rage and depression. There is an intensive out-patient program at the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Treatment of Anxiety. They handle OCD, PTSD, GAD etc. I called them and they do not have any capacity to address Aspergers though they said they have one therapist who has had a little training in it and they usually refer those cases to her. I was leaning towards getting her enrolled in this program until the behavior analyst (who wrote a book on ABA and has an autistic son) kept saying the emphasis should be on the aspergers. Now I am confused again. Last night she was screaming because she got an answer wrong on her lesson. She has the perfectionism OCD. I just feel that it is the OCD that is causing her the most pain. Just not sure how the Aspergers (very mild) would affect the success of regular OCD/ERP treatment. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
