Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't really expect any answers, but you never know... My 11 yo son has been on a " vacation " from ER/P for a few months now since he left a daily intensive treatment program. He seemed to be holding his own with a weekly visit to a psychologist who is doing... well, I'm not sure, but my son sure loves him. I think he's trying to build his confidence. Anyway, my son is expressing how hard it is for him to be in class. His main problem is sitting at the desks he knows others who were wearing buttons have sat in before him. For you newbies, he has an obsessive fear of buttons. We have no idea why. He said that in his first class today he kept getting up and pretending to get something out of his backpack just to avoid sitting at the desk. He says the problem has been there for a long time, but it sounds like he's more distressed than before. We'll talk to the psychologist tomorrow a.m. when we see him, but wondered if anyone had similar experiences or suggestions, since so many kids have some kind of contamination OCD. I have that sinking feeling that we're headed for my son not being able to go to school all day.
