[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 192922, member: 1550"] Wow. Has she ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist for possible high functioning autism/Aspergers? How was her early development? Does she socialize well? Any delays in her development? in my opinion she should be evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). That can make a kid afraid of new places, afraid of transitions, very frustrated, and they sometimes do lash out at themselves. My son did when he was young. He has gotten so much help, he's doing great, but I'd look into it. An evaluation by a neuropsychologist will be helpful no matter what they find or don't find. She may well have anxiety and depression, but it sounds like something more is going on. Even depressed kids don't usually hit themselves or scratch themselves...Masturbated a lot IS a stress reliever. It can also be a stimulant. does she do anything else to soothe herself, like rock, or make high pitched noises, or click her tongue or flap her arms...? Any obsessions about any topics that seem over-the-top? [/QUOTE]
