[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I'm not a troll.  WTF. 
I have an anxious kid who does well when he's in his normal routine in the classroom, with familiar friends, with our family, etc. 
He really struggles when he's in critical situations in baseball, has to take tests, do any sort of performing arts, etc.  Whenever he's confronted with new or difficult situations he's not able to talk himself down and once he gets anxious he spirals into very frustrating behavior.   Once he's anxious he has almost zero emotional regulation.

I wish I was making this up.   I'd give just about anything to help him and have spent thousands on CBT but it really hasn't helped.

We haven't seen the psychiatrist so my term of "performance anxiety" is just my own jargon.  Perhaps he has generalized anxiety.   I don't know.  I was just hoping that maybe his story would be similar to someone else's child and I could get an idea of what may have helped.

And honestly, why the heck are you being rude on a "special needs" forum?  Horrible.
