[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 34703, member: 1161"] Hi flachic [img]:smile:[/img] The first thing that the school worker said about my difficult child in grade 2 was "have you looked into Aspergers" and "his behaviors look like anxiety" (he would end up hiding under desks). Then the rest of the 5 people in that meeting kinda took over and nothing more was said. I do wish I'd listened to her, because 3 years and a lot of hard times later he was diagnosis'd with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (just misses Aspergers by a criteria or two) and most of his behaviors stemmed from anxieties of not "getting it" and needing to do things "right" (meaning perfect).
