[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 438475"] This sounds so much like my difficult child at the end of this school year. His anxiety was over the top so we tried putting him on a medication to help. In our case, he was acting out more in school and was fine at home. He did the same avoidance things your daughter is doing ie. nurse, morning meltdowns, hand hurting, etc. It was because he'd [B]learned[/B] these things helped him avoid things he didn't like or were too hard for him. He also did not ask for help. Our school year ended with the psychiatrist ordering that difficult child be Homebound for the remainder of the school year because all the stress associated with difficult child going to school was doing him more harm than good. We are tweaking his medications over the summer so he will hopefully better able to handle school again in the fall. The autism specialist we had did an awesome job on identifying ways that his diagnosis was affecting his education in ways the school wasn't seeing. They are usually very knowledgeable and most kids on the spectrum can't put things into words so the specialist should still be able to figure things out. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
