JustaMom,
Do you find that holidays and birthdays are very wound up? Does he take change well? Ours doesn't. I'm most intrigued by your post. For years I wondered if we were inept parents. Ours is now 27 and doing well. (anxiety and hypersensitivity still there, just much less. We spent a few days on vacation with him and our other son and he had an anxiety attack, being away from his dissertation work, stressing. ) We've always found that when he was taken out of his environment and routines, he was not comfortable. Birthdays and holidays were very wound up. The overexcitability was sooooooooo difficult to live with. It wore us out to no end. It affected his younger 2 bros. It's some comfort to know it's inborn. The last blowup was when he was 22 and by then they were infrequent anyway. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Our fam relationships are very close. It's a rough and wild ride but it settles down by the time they're young adults. I'll definitely investigate Dobrowski. Thanks. Blessings.
