[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 230478, member: 1991"] You did well to spot the similar problems to your sister. I'm sorry you're having such trouble. We can help. Some quick suggestions - 1) Get your hands on a copy of "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It's a really good help, even with all you already know of your sister, this can give you some wonderful insight not only into why, but how to deal with it. It made my life easier, because it meant we could throw out reward charts, throw out a lot of other stuff I had to think of, etc. 2) Out of sheer curiosity, check out the website [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] and look for the online Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire. It's not officially diagnostic (we can't diagnose, it takes a professional) but you run the test, print out the results whatever they are and show them to a professional to give them an indication of the sort of concerns you have. it can really help. Feel free to vent here, so many of us have been where you are now (and some are yet to go there!). We understand and can help. Welcome to the site and the sanity salvation! Marg [/QUOTE]
