[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 572050, member: 7083"] I should add that while anxiety has always been by far my daughter's biggest issue, underscoring the anxiety is that she doesn't understand the world around her. Her anxiety is so big, however, that we couldn't even address that until we got the anxiety managed. I talked until I was blue in the face about the need to manage her anxiety, but no one seemed to know what to do (have had way too many people tell me they've never seen a kid like her before) and then she became treatment and medication resistant for several years. If I could go back and do it over, I would insist on managing the anxiety at a much younger age. I can't say with certainty if she would be further along than she is now (and where we are now is that it will be years yet before psychiatrist and therapist think she will be able to function independently), but I believe she would be. Her anxiety was/is debilitating and controls every facet of her life. [/QUOTE]
