He doesn't want to make a mistake in front of anyone - so rather than risk getting an answer wrong, he simply choses not to answer at all. We've worked with him on understanding that making mistakes is how we learn and get smarter and it has helped tremendously. Might want to investigate it - can't hurt.

Yeah, he goes through that as well. When he can't do something absolutely perfect he will have a complete meltdown. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still on the abnormal side.

BTW - one of my favorite books growing up was the Rats of NIHM (or however it's spelled).
