[quote=Anonymous]I've been concerned about my 6- year old's social anxiety (at least, that's what I am calling it) for a couple years now. My husband seems to think she's totally fine, and since I tend to toward anxiety myself it may be that I am being overly vigilant. But I also wonder if he may just be in denial... I would say almost literally that I have never seen her speak to an adult the first time she meets one (well, at least in the past 3 years or so), and/or even look them in the eye. So my question is, how do I got about getting a mental health evaluation for a 6-year old who refuses, in general, to talk to adults? I'm particularly concerned about social anxiety. Others on this board have suggested selective mutism, but it's not my sense that she CAN'T speak... she just freaks out about it. We have MDIPA if that makes a difference.[/quote]
