I strongly suspect my mother shares the diagnosis. I grew up watching how it plays out, to some degree (unidentified, of course, and with a child's assumption of parental infallibility). The anxiety can get crippling.

I alternate looking at her as the horrible or the reassuring example of what could happen to DS8. She had a successful life so far, despite the stress and the anxiety...

Thanks for sharing your insights on that!
