[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478327, member: 12886"] My son can generally only really think and react to one thing at a time. Lots of kids with anxiety get in the same mode---I have seen lots of kids with autism like that (and for others during an anxiety episode). Does his favorite/comfort thing (if they are little we call them fidgets but mine has a bigger bear that once in a while is a big deal) anyway, does it switch alot or do you know his patterns? I used to have a bag in the car with the transition things I needed. (never anything HARD in case things flew) No matter what happened or what his pattern is, you got through it and learned one thing for sure, during transitions, if he needs something it will be worth your time to just get it. At least that is one power battle I would choose not to fight. I forget how old your son is? (just curious) In another thread we were talking about how exhausting it is to be nine steps ahead and constantly try to avoid fires before we have to put them out. At some point it just becomes part of life, but it is still overwhelming at times. [/QUOTE]
