Rigidity.

• Transitions
• Routines
• Rules
• Black and white
• Stuck
• Surprises

Rigidity looks like a child who falls apart when plans change, who insists on the same route, food or order of things, who argues rules to the letter, or who cannot move on from a disappointment. In adults it can be difficulty adjusting at work, a strong need for predictability, and trouble seeing another point of view. Rigid thinking is common in autism and anxiety and goes with some executive function weaknesses; an evaluation shows which is at play.

Start with a phone consultation. Tell us which kinds of change are hardest and what a bad transition looks like, and we will suggest the right evaluation.
