[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year has growing anxiety, including not sleeping alone,  or using the school bathroom (she has the occasional accident), social anxiety. She also has developed several tics such as a specific arm wave over her head for the last few months. Her ped has been trying to treat all of this holisitcally, as if its inflammation, gut health issues (thinks PANDAs).  She is very smart. She was diagnosed with ADD a year ago, we have not medicated yet because its such a odd school year but I thinking thats coming next year.
However, I am more concerned about the anxiety, tics etc.   She also doesnt like to be hugged too tight or kissed.  I am worried this is actually ASD which really scares me.  
I don't think any of the supplments the ped has her on make a difference. She is already in talk therapy. I am wondering if just starting her on anxiety meds would solve a lot of these issues.
I also don't even know where to start to find a good child psychiatrist or who to see for an assemment of ASD.  [/quote]
