@lindasmith1222 You brought up a very good point! I was speaking to one of my specialists a couple of months ago, and he commented how the COVID pandemic affected his two children, both at critical stages of their life. Right on the cusp of moving from elementary school to junior high, and the other from junior high into senior high. All of the sudden they are not interacting physically with peers, nor having the chance to participate in normal activities. It has brought on a rapid and huge increase of mental health issues and concerns for this affected generation. And all at a time when there is already so much changing in their bodies and minds as they get in to puberty!

@ashambean2 This may be a real key to getting to the crux of it all, and a way to look at how your son is doing/how he is dealing with everything!
