[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He'll get it eventually. You're modeling good behavior for him. Hang in there! Hugs![/quote] Thanks for this! I worry that I'm becoming a "helicopter" mom, but if I don't stay on top of him, he wouldn't get out the door in the morning. Then, the negative thinking spirals to him flunking out of school, not being able to hold a job, becoming homeless someday ... I know it could be much worse and he's come a very LONG way since being diagnosed with autism in preschool, but the differences between him and "typical" kids is there. Some years it seems like he's catching up, and then the bar gets raised on social/behavioral expectations. He's definitely maturing, but at a slower pace. [/quote] Hugs OP, been there and done that. Please think about getting some help for your anxiety- you have some catastrophic thinking going on (I have it too so I know it well!) and therapy has been a lifesaver for me in terms of dealing with it.[/quote]
