[QUOTE="battlewearyteary, post: 22706, member: 3480"] thank you for your response. the anxiety clinic was the fastest avenue in our medical system (canada)to see psychiatrist. i asked about aspergers and autism and his opinion was that my son did not fall into those degrees of the spectrum. from what i am told it is too early to go for psychoeducational testing. they normally do that at the first grade level *perhaps nine months to a year from now. i have an add'ish personality and see a psychiatrist for anxiety. there is a variety of mood disorders and add at non-severe degrees in our family. some depression, anxiety, add. he did go to camp last year and didnt have any episodes with other children but did have a very difficult time separating from me and getting used to the new surroundings. i have learned some good lessons from that experience and plan to send him to camp with a friend or two and a good discussion with the staff as to his particular needs. i think that it would be disasterous if he were to stay home all day long. his siblings will be off at overnight camp. i appreciate your food for thought though. i will be seeing another private psychiatrist next week. i have heard wonderful things about her. i have also discovered a great book called 'how to raise your spirited child' by mary sheedy. it teaches you to throw a positive light on a child of this nature. sort of goes along with the whole difficult child thing ( i never would have figured that one out). i know that i have to keep a close eye on my difficult child for now and to be patient that a proper diagnosis (if there is one) will come when things become clearer. i am not one to overreact nor to pretend that he will 'outgrow it'. bye for now.
