[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 590142, member: 11791"] {{hugs}} Sounds familiar. My guess? you're not to the bottom of the diagnosis list yet. Anxiety is often a secondary diagnosis - something else is making life difficult, and the kid doesn't know why, but they aren't coping well. The home tutoring went well... that is one-on-one in a quiet environment. School is noisy. Even the best-run classrooms are noisy - paper rustling, pens dropping, a cough, a sneeze, the hvac system, the janitor... Any way to test him for APDs? especially auditory figure ground? People with this condition have trouble filtering out background noise, or to put it differently, have trouble bringing the important sounds to the foreground. So, they fight just to "hear", which leaves less brain-power for processing. It can be mentally exhausting. They often "hear" wrong, which is discouraging. They are told they are not paying attention when in reality, they are trying way harder than anybody else in class. For us, the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) diagnosis was the key diagnosis that started beating back my difficult child's extreme mental and emotional fatigue and the anxiety that went with it.
