We were worried about anxiety in our son and a psychologist helped immensely. I've recommended this before on these boards, and maybe it is a bit extreme, but DS talked to her two separate times, and he was back to his normal happy self. The psychologist has a way of asking questions and getting DS to talk that I cannot seem to copy (I've tried). We are more than willing to get outside help, though, since DS is 2e and we have been seeing different types of therapists and experts since he was 2 years old! I know a lot of people attach a stigma to going to a psychologist, but I was so happy with the results that I would not hesitate to return if (when?) he ever needs a tune up!! Nan
