Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional PDD-NOS/anxiety and starting middle school

MON, these are great suggestions. I'd certainly put the locker (and practice therewith) on the list of things to be addressed at the pre-start-of-school tour.

Rachelle, if you can get your DS in there before year's end, to observe how hectic the halls are, will it make him nervous all summer, or less nervous later because at least it's known?

I think it will make him more nervous. I think if we go before school starts and map out his routes it will help. I'll explain that there will be chaos around him but if he sticks to his route and timing, I think he can shut it out and be okay. We'll just have to talk about it.
