[QUOTE="Stella, post: 255847, member: 6837"] Thanks so much for sharing that StepTo2. It's very interesting for me to hear things from the perspective on an only child. My daughter was only grandchild for first 8 years of her life too so she was the only child in both sides of family for a long time and yes, she is very much the centre of attention. Sometimes I think it's a case of her having too much limelight! Interestingly, I was speaking with a friend of mine recently and although she was never diagnosed with anything either and she is now happily married with two kids, she also had very similar behaviours to difficult child including the rituals. She said it was all frustration. Her mother was a chronic alcoholic and her father used to beat her so she puts it down to that. I do find it interesting that there is no actual diagnosis for it though and that she seemed to grow out of it with age. (most of it, she also still has some rituals). I suppose I'm just observing all behaviours and trying to put all of the pieces of this jigsaw together to find out what the hell is going on with difficult child!! Thanks again for sharing. [/QUOTE]
