[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 342784, member: 3444"] To me, that's the anxiety part. And the ADD and anxiety can absolutely go hand in hand. Which is why when you say this: it makes me think that they never got the full picture of the ADD/ADHD affecting her across all environments because her anxiety was a much bigger problem at school. difficult child 1 used to completely shut down when he was younger, too. He even did it a little in elementary school, depending on his stress level and the nature of the situation. ABSOLUTELY. I'd be furious that I was not called in to discuss the conclusion that was drawn before it was revealed to my difficult child. Probably the best thing to really focus on is the disorder that is affecting her the most right now -- which to me seems like it's the anxiety. Once you get that handled, the ADD will probably become more evident in more settings, and you address THAT component then. [/QUOTE]
