MDMom: DS7 is 2e and has had anxiety issues periodically that have been successfully resolved with a psychologist. He also has had other therapies for other specific issues: ABA, OT, SLP which all help. I think he has seen the psychologist about 6 times in the past 2 years. I can't tell if the anxiety is related to his giftedness or his ASD...they are so intertwined at this point. So, I'm not sure how helpful this is to your original question, but I'm just adding my personal experience with my son! Nan
