[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 207172, member: 1991"] The constipation thing - it could be connected to sensory issues, it could be a number of things. difficult child 1 has problems with this, he wouldn't "go" to the toilet except when reminded. Still a problem, not so bad. He once had to go to hospital with suspected appendicitis; it turned out to be severe constipation and they had to clean him out manually - he is still traumatised by that. Remembering what he had to endure is what motivates him now to remember to 'go'. Asperger's is difficult to diagnose in girls; they can present differently, it can be confusing. The rules are being rewritten, I'd get her re-evaluated. We've been told with two of our three difficult children that they're not Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). And we've been told they are. Chances are the diagnostic criteria could have changed since Hayley was last evaluated. Have you checked her score on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] yet? That would be interesting. Regardless of what result she gets, print the result and take it to the specialist of your choice and see what they say. Good luck, keep us posted. marg [/QUOTE]
