Do any of you have any suggestions for getting thru the blood draw?? I probably don't have to explain but just in case...any reasoning tactic does not work. No matter how well he understands something, once the panic kicks in...forget it! Not looking forward to this....

** I hate blood tests. My son, 17 and Aspergers and ADHD hates them EVEN worse than I do. He was supposed to get a blood test about five years ago and he refused. I asked the doctor if he would give a tranquilizer and he said that it is not that important, just that would mean we would not have the best therapeutic level for his medications. So, that was a worry. However, he just has never had a blood test since. Now, that he is older, he has some moles surgically removed two years ago and he did a good job. However, it helped that he was laying down in a quiet lab room, and could not see what was going on and we made him relax and look away.

I also have to lay down when I have blood tests, and your son could too, also have him look away and talk to him about something else. That should help. I hate them too!
