Hi Lori,
Boy sounds like you and your son have your hands full.
I would admit yep I am anxious too so that doesn't help matters for your kids. I am on meds for thyroid disease and anti-seizure meds but not taking anxiety meds.
Doesn't it break your heart to see your DS worry.
Does it feel too like they are alone and not even family understands what they are going through.
Having to dumb down his speech so the other kids can understand him has to be heartbreaking. Wearing a brace on top of it makes it all the more difficult.
