[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607673, member: 1550"] CB, anxiety is a HUGE part of autism, high or low functioning. So it is normal for him, so to speak, to express it and to act on it. My now grown son still worries he'll get this or that wrong and I have to keep reminding him that he can always ask for help if he doesn't know where to go or what to do. He has REALLY learned to ask for help, which was a problem in his younger years because of his shyness. Maybe he needs to try and to learn, as Sonic did, that people are most certainly willing to direct you if you are polite. You can even go with him in stores and stand behind him while he asks questions, which is how we did it. Of course, your son is much younger than Sonic and it took a while for Sonic to be able to do this. It takes practice, practice, practice and positive experiences. With Sonic we heavily stressed asking with a "could you PLEASE" and then saying "thank you." It helps get a positive response! I'm glad your great little guy is home with you. [/QUOTE]
