[QUOTE="arewetheonlyones, post: 247970, member: 6906"] We have been dealing with separation anxiety with difficult child 2 since he was in pre-school. It has now escallated in the 4th to severe anxiety disorder, ADD, and panic attacks. We have wonderful doctors helping us, but there is no one that I can find that is dealing with anything like this. My husband and I are exhausted. difficult child 2 is now jumping out of cars to avoid school, banging his head on car windows, kicking and screaming things that we have never heard out of our sweet little difficult child 2 before. The school has been somewhat co-operative. Until his melt down today. They told him they would keep him at school until 9 tonight if they had to, to make him calm down. Our very sensitive difficult child 2, is now needing constant reassurance that they can't keep him from us. We have to physically drag him into school at least 2 days a week. Which is an improvement, a month ago it was 4 times a week. The doctors' are backing me up and explaining that this is a medical condition. They are just trying to get his medications right and that it is not an over night thing. The school just wants him to "**** it up and get back to class". When he is in that frame of mind, he can't do anything. The doctor today said it was time for an IEP. This is all new to me. Can anyone give any insight? We don't even know what an IEP will do for him. difficult child 2 is so distraught by his own behaviors and his perceptions of reality seem to a bit off some times. We discovered he was being bullied at school about a month ago but that has stopped since. These problems were there before then, but have worsened since. He has started secluding himself at home. We are very concerned and feel very alone in this world right. I am so glad to find somewhere that won't tell us, "Just spank him." This isn't something we can spank out of our child.
