"My son has Autism and despite intervention from psychiatrists and therapists he isn't making progress. He has recently been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, bordering on a phobia, and has stopped doing the things he used to enjoy. Even going to school is a fight and most days someone is having to go and pick him up because he has had a meltdown. It is like his ability to self regulate has vanished into thin air. If it continues I am going to have to give up my job and home school him."
