[quote=Anonymous]OP, anxiety is a beast and it sounds like it's at the heart of a lot of your child's issues with holidays. I have two neurodivergent kids who also have anxiety. Holidays are hard, but it's helped us to: - get support and medication as needed for anxiety - it's hard to be flexible when you're on fire - talk as a family about which pieces of celebrations are important to us so everyone has things they like to look forward to (baking cookies, decorating the tree, etc.) - planning in downtime so everyone can take the time they need to rest/recharge/decompress as necessary - simplifying holiday plans. This one has been so good for me, the parent, honestly. It's okay not to do everything, and you don't have to do things just because you've always done them. [/quote]
