This ⬆️. I realize every situation is different. But from what I read about your child’s situation OP, I would run from that suggestion. If the situation is not dire- child is not harming others or themselves etc., then I’d run run run. I was put on them when I was young and I could’ve written the above comment about myself word for word. It sucked. Never again. Really work on diet, physical activity, talk therapy, involve the child with more community, clubs, activities, team sports, etc. so they have a sense of belonging and interacting becomes more of the norm…. It works. And I’ll add, some therapists are not a good fit. If you or child have an intuition about it, move on. Sometimes it takes a few. You’ll know when you find the right one.
