[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son Had the same issues. He’s really growing out of it now at age 22. What we did was to encourage him but not force it except where it wasn’t something we could do for him. So for example I would ask for things in a restaurant. But if he had a school project and needed to ask for things from the librarian, I would be sure that he knew how to ask for what he needed, but he had to do that himself. Medication helped. But so did success and maturity. Success breeds more success. Customer facing job had no real impact. He had been working at a deli and then Starbucks since he was 16 with no effect on his social anxiety. [/quote] Thanks for responding. What meds helped? Was he able to wean off? [/quote]
