[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 334003, member: 2315"] CAmom, I do think that it is a good idea to start out fresh with a new doctor and a new evaluation. I also agree that you should not bring his past records into the new evaluation. I am hoping to do the same with my son a fresh look can be benificial especially when the past history is so muddled and confusing. I have a niece who is beautiful and smart but has a social anixety disorder. She sought help as an adult because she couldn't cope with college and gave up and moved back home after one semester. Then dhe would panic at interviews and couldn't get a job. She has friends but when in a social situation like a family gathering she doesn't speak at all unless spoken to and then only gives one word answers. She was not like this as a little girl, it is like she grew into it. She got some therapy and with encouragement from her mother and father applied for a government job as a secratary. She is now working and doing OK but still so quiet and withdrawn unless she has a drink or two (not something she does much) She is engaged to a man who is very willing to speak for her and it is somewhat worrisome to me but she seems Ok with it and that is what matters I guess. So yes, a social anxiety disorder can be crippling and can stop a person from achieving their potential. There are medications and therapies that can help with this and hopefully your son will find a mix that will work for him. Wishing you and your difficult child much success and energy in the comming months. -RM [/QUOTE]
