[QUOTE="SRL, post: 298730, member: 701"] Hi gafirewife. Welcome to our forum. A few more questions for you: 1) When she plays, does she often line up toys or other objects in straight lines or formations? 2) What are her interests like--are they typical of girls her age? 3) Cognitively/academically is she on track? When we see kids described with the kinds of issues you are describing, we encourage parents to research Autistic Spectrum Disorders. The higher functioning spectrum disorders (such as Asperger's Syndrome) are often very difficult to pick up in young children, even by their pediatricians. Since you've mentioned social anxiety, not changing gears well, along with behavioral issues and a family history of anxiety, I think there's enough here to warrant an evaluation. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s are often the last thing most parents think of when they come looking for help here because so often when we think of Autism we think of classic Autism. Here are some links that you can look through to see if anything rings a bell.
