DD has been suffering with toxic friendships at school and has become very volatile and distressed at home. Combination of anxiety and not being able to deal with emotions such as anger caused by events at school. We have seen a chid therapist who initially suspected HF Aspergers due to DD's lack of empathy and inability to follow instructions at home, but now says it is not Aspergers but severe anxiety. What is the best way to help a child with this? Counselling? I feel awful as have GAD myself so feel like I have passed on my shitty way of coping with the world
