[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 651181, member: 805"] I don't think you are stretching or reaching at all. These children are very complicated. As InsaneCdn said, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) does sort of override all others because of it's complexity. I think the anxiety sounds reasonable given your son's actions. The first symptom that manifested in my son's depression was anger. That's a really common sign in boys. There is a learning issue called dysgraphia. It affects the physical ability to write. This was a major issue for my son in his earlier elementary years. He was given accommodations through school like the use of a scribe, the ability to use a computer in the classroom, use of a pencil instead of a pen, oral review rather than written, etc. These accoms varied depending on his age. Overtime he was able to "work around" his disability and it often gets better with age. It's a shame that you don't have more time to prepare. It used to take me weeks to prepare for IEP reviews and such. Here's a few links that might help you on the anxiety issues: worrywisekids.org childmind.org and adaa.org If you are looking for more specifics in regards to dealing with these his issues in social settings, like school, check into ldonline.org (this was my go to during my son's school years - a plethora of great information!) Also, the wrights law site; they have a lot of information on modifications and accommodations as well as great links and resources. Keep us posted. Sharon [/QUOTE]
