[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 66665"] His anxiety is just so high. As far as the fish..he goes fishing. He is fine with that. Just doesn't want to go into the water where they live. We were all out swimming..he was floating in his boat, and he said something about "what if a shark came up". My brother in law is an oceanographer. He explained to him that those type of fish only can survive in salt water, such as oceans, and where they are located, and even in the ocean the slight chance of any attacking. Didn't help. My sister is a teacher. She is 59 years old, has been teaching kindergarden her entire life. I talked to her about the possibility of difficult child being on the Autistic spectrum. She said absolutely not. She has taken classes (required) because she has many autistic children that have been mainstreamed in her class. We have butted heads many times about school issues, so I am not always in agreement with what she says. She is a big supporter of medication. I was totally against it for so many years. Still, even with the medication, I would still try all other routes prior to the medication. The way she comes across is..if they misbehave...medicate. Not always needed in my opinion. As far as psychiatrist, and anxiety. He doesn't want to try anything because of the reaction we had last year when we added Lexapro. difficult child has had a prescription for Ativan.
