Hi Arminius, thanks for posting - I really am hoping that we are catching things early, at least for the depression and social anxiety. This would be ds' first round of any sort of therapy so again, keeping fingers crossed that the doctor's thorough, thoughtful review of the results of the assessment are pointing us in the right direction. Part of why I went with a more costly initial assessment is that I didn't want to dither around and go in several wrong directions as I've read is so common.
That a play group would hit home better than one on one counseling for an 8 year old makes sense to me, and ds is open to it, for now.
I hope you are doing ok now, do you think social skills/anxiety were a major issue for you ? If you did find help, I would be curious what finally worked for you.
