chest pains / 12 year aspie
my daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's Symdrome and a new condition that has show its face are chest pains. She has been complaining of chest pains on and off for about 6 months. Her asked her peditrician about this and they told me that she could have pulled a muscle (don't agree with that one) or she may have anxiety. I if it is anxiety you just have to learn to deal with it. I feel bad because I really don't know what to do when she tells me shes having chest pains. It really scares me!
My daughter in 12 years old and in the fifth grade. The peditrician said it could be anxiety.
