I am new here and I am looking for more information for me. My son is 8 going on 9 soon. He has had extreme social anxiety since I can pretty much remember. It really wasn't noticable until he started school..for years, all I heard from his teachers was "how shy" he was, this past week I had a chance to sit down with all of his teachers, special education (he had a small speech problem when he was younger) and the school shrink, now that he's in middle school, it seems they are taking it more seriously, and he either has a severe social anxiety problem or some form of selective muteness.
We are working with his doctor, who is finally taking it seriously, we started him on a very low dose of Prozac and I have him scheduled to see someone for counseling at the end of next month(it's the soonest I can get him in)
I guess I'm looking for people who are going through the same things, been through it or just have advice.
Thanks for reading all my rambling!
