Ahh, I see. No, every 8 hours means one upon awakening, one midday, and one at bedtime. The intervals don't have to be exactly 8 hours. :-)

The difference between "anxiety" and "anxiety disorder" isn't clear-cut, anyway. But yes, that's what I meant by social anxiety.
> He just isn't very social in general, but I'm not sure I could label him as "anxious."
Does he tend to avoid people/try to be alone when he can?
> It's strange, I have, however, seen him actually perspire during a conversation when he get intense about the subject (not angry) just somewhat intense.
A lot of people have that kind of problem (sweating, trembling, etc.) when they're nervous.
Give your son my best. :-)
