[quote=Anonymous]1st grade DS has ASD/ADHD.  He's on medication and generally fine but the one thing that causes him to completely freak out is if we're out of his sight and it's not on his terms- including in our own house.  For example, in a store I might say to him that I'm going to walk to the end of the aisle but I'll keep talking so he can hear my voice.  That's not enough.  He will totally lose it unless he can see me.  Today DH was in the bathroom while DS was showering.  DH stepped out for a minute and DS came flying out the door panicked because he was in there by himself.  We've lived in the same house for awhile and we've definitely never left him anywhere so I really don't understand it.  We've asked him about it but to no avail.  He won't let us ever close the door to his room when he's inside, even though he sleeps in there with his brother.  Any ideas? I'd love to help him feel more secure and also for us to be able to be 10 feet away in a store.  I'm sympathetic to the fear but it's also exhausting.[/quote]
