[quote=Anonymous]What type of doctor is prescribing the meds for anxiety, and how was it diagnosed? Depending on how long ago the evaluation was or how thorough, it's quite possible it missed an autism diagnosis. It's not unusual for anxiety and autism to be co-morbid. And like ADHD, autism in girls often gets missed until later. You could see a developmental pediatrician or do a full neuropsychological evaluation with a psychologist. An additional evaluation, might be helpful in understanding issues that aren't addressed through medication. It may also be helpful if your DD needs additional support in school.[/quote]
