[QUOTE="mamabear01, post: 272918, member: 7387"] I am wondering if she has transition problems that lead her to have absolute control in a situation. I am seeing high language, and being quite litteral. If you see imaginative play here.... I see going into her own world.... "ALOT of imaginative play...for instance anything that is going on in her life she will pretend to be...like when I told her she would go to military school she pretended to be the warden or if we come back from the library she will pretend to be the librarian. My boys have sensory problems and have very strange eating habits. Sometimes too much or too little because they lack the signal in there brain that says there full or hungry. How is her sleep? I talk to myself ALOT. In fact it's a joke between my husband and I lol. It really could mean anxiety, which I do have. "She is better in school at home but can't keep friends very long because she is very bossy and tells them what to do.." Again needing to control her own world. She may do better at home because she can relax and know you are her "safe" person. "if she meets a kid that who cries easily she will do whatever it takes to make that person cry. She was an only child till 10 months ago and is the BEST big sister ever imaginable...She truly thinks she is his mother and corrects anyone who does not do things exactly the way we do for him.." again I feel a control issue mixed in with a social skill issue. I see some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) here.... "I should add that she loves animals almost obsessivley and has recently become obsessed with bugs and tries saving every bug in her school yard and brings them home after I repeatedly tell her not to...very weirdly wants them not to get hurt...she says if she doesn't take them home the teachers will step on them...I don't know where the animal or bug thing fits in but I figured I would mention it." I could go on and on but I have to say it's really hard to read your post since you don't have any breaks in it. But I would go to this link and do a test. This test doesn't count as a diagnosis, but it does help if you need to show her doctor what her issue's are. by the way my son falls all over the place too when he gets overwhelmed. He also falls out of chairs which could be an Occupational Therapist (OT) thing. And I want to say, I am not a doctor, but sometimes [URL="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Schizophrenia"][COLOR=#0050bb]Schizophrenia[/COLOR][/URL] can be misdx'd as Autism. High and low functioning. I would look out for that since years ago they didn't even understand Autism, high or low. I would do the childbrain thing and bring it to your physcologist the next time you see him.. This survey helped me tremondously when I didn't know what the heck was going on with my kids.
