[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 234379"] [quoteHer patterns are not as obvious as simple rituals (like you might see with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)) or lining up toys. Instead, it is as though she moves through her day according to a complex choreography designed to help her handle different situations. AND she has terrible social skills. AND she has no empathy. AND she does not know how to interact appropriately--always too rough, too aggressive, etc. AND if you disturb her pattern--[K[I]aboom[/I]!] !! Could you describe the "complex choreography" that you mentioned? I've seen this with my son. Do you perhaps means the ability to completely mask emotions so that they look normal unless you know what to look for? difficult child gets better with this by the year. medications did definitely stabilize him; but I often wonder if there isn't some autism in there. He is in therapy to help with what I describe as "autistic-like" traits since I couldn't figure out another way to help with all the other stuff and traditional counseling was like throwing money in the trash.
