[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry that you and your son are dealing with this, OP. It is so hard to see our kids struggle.. It does sound like he has social anxiety. I have social anxiety myself, and it really really stinks. What is probably happening is this: other kids are “seeing” his nervousness and feeling uncomfortable, so tend to back away. People instantly seem to pick up on anxiety, no matter how hard you try to “cover”. This reduces your DS’s confidence even further, making him even more anxious the next time, and perpetuates the problem. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Meds (SSRIs) are the only thing that has ever really worked for me. [/quote]
