[quote=Anonymous]OK First of all.

You have to look at the WHOLE picture.  What other symptoms besides aggressive reactions?  How's school going?  Can they focus well?

As a mom of a kid with anxiety and another with dyslexia and ADHD I will tell you, people like to jump to autism, OCD, ASD, anxiety straight aways - it's just not like that.

Many times, someone with anxiety has something else - whether OCD or oppositional disorder and sometimes it's JUST anxiety!

Sometimes, the kids at age 12 (I have a 14 and a 12 yr old) have raginggggggg hormones. Based on their personality, they may be a bit nuts.  I have friends with kids like this.  Hot and cold, crazy one moment to another.

You can also look at magnesium and other nutritional factors.  When I put my DD on magnesium, it smoothed her out quite a bit.

And sometimes...you can't really manage a diagnosis.  You may not ever be clear as to what it is.  People, kids change.  It could be a phase.  You cannot nitpick one thing your kid does that seems weird and jump to the conclusion they have mild autism - are you serious??!

It could be something for sure.  But I'm just suggesting you note more than her aggressive reaction to your suggestions.  My kid who has anxiety does not have ADHD or mild autism or OCD.  Her anxiety is very much based in social anxiety however.  There's always going to be different considerations when someone truly has something going on - you'll see other habits which may be concerning.

Unless there's anything else that really is weird, from what you've described it actually sounds like hormones :)[/quote]
