[quote=Anonymous]Sadly, OP, you have to wait for the behaviors to get even worse before they'll be willing to seek professional help. If you come on too strong, you will push further into denial. I've witnessed that in action. Ultimately it's useless to scare them with diagnoses like autism, even if that's what she may have. What she needs is anxiety management, and you can gently remind her parents to address that with a professional and read up on the topic... but it's going to be an uphill battle, even if they're both engaged and motivated. I'm a 45 year old anxious mother with two anxious kids, one of whom is on the spectrum. It's a lifelong condition and it needs to be managed. This family will realize this at some point. [/quote]
