[quote=Anonymous]2nd grader DS, with an ASD diagnosis. Has a few obsessions but nothing overly crazy. Lately, we noticed he has a lot of anxiety pretty much about everything, incl. stuff he never used to give a damn about. Example: he's terrified of being late. School bus, lunch, his specials, everything. Anything unfamiliar or undesirable makes him cry and he was never a crybaby. Example: yesterday I brought him a book I thought he'd like. It's about subway systems around the world, lots of pictures. He started wailing that reading is stupid, he hates reading, he is afraid of reading and he never wants to read again. He reads above his grade level, his teachers praise him for his reading abilities. Is this what anxiety is? Or is he going through some growth spurt? Anything we can do to help him? We really don't want this to escalate.[/quote]
