[quote=Anonymous][[b]u]easier:[/u][/b] [b]Pediatrician appointments[/b]-used to dread them because DS was so anxious and non-compliant-now *knock on wood*they are no big deal [b]Other doctor appointments[/b] [b]Trips by car[/b] [b]Holiday meals[/b] [b]Asserting myself to advocate for my child[/b] [u][b]Still tough[/b][/u] [b]Birthday parties[/b]-I hate attending themI never know if his anxiety is going to get the best of him and lead to crying or stubbornness. Even if he does the best he can, something throws me off such as parents making playdates in front of me or a parent outright asking me if my child has Aspergers. [b]Playdates[/b]-getting better, but still a major work in progress. Harder for me. Even if he can't cope well, he still enjoys it. If it goes smoothly I am exhausted from anticipating trouble. [b]Comments from other parents[/b]-sometimes NBD, other times I act fine and then cry in private and obsess for the next week [/quote]
