Response to PART 5 - "FEARFUL"

 

Andy is not very fearful, but often apprehensive. Here is an example: We were visiting some friends and they invited us for dinner. Andy did not want to stay because he did not want to eat the food someone else had cooked. I think he didn't know how to refuse, and would have felt that he had to eat something he didn't like (trust?). We agreed that he would not have to eat, that if he did not want to eat the dinner he could say no thank you, and have some crackers if he was too hungry. And that we would give him some dinner at home, later. He didn't want the other family to know his feelings. He liked the dinner when it was served and ate platesful, later he laughed at himself for being nervous, and said he was glad he had tried it after all.
