[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 300539, member: 6546"] Susie-- I think you are exactly right! It IS a crucial discovery about a glitch her her wiring. No she has never been tested for anything (this is just a parenting problem, remember?)... And truthfully, we might never have caught it because clothing is not one of the battles that I have chosen over the years. Getting dressed has been a struggle [I]forever[/I]. And I have been trying to solve it by taking her shopping, letting her pick the clothes, making sure everything she has is mix and match so that she has as many options as possible and I always keep up with the laundry.... The fact that she was continuing to yell and scream and tantrum and accuse ([I]You didn't get me any clothes! You never do the laundry[/I]!) was just mind-boggling....and so I tried not to make an issue of it. Just put something on--I have made a thousand helpful suggestions but if all you will wear is a dirty t-shirt and jeans then so be it. husband is the one who finally decided he was going to actually battle about the clothing by forbidding her from digging through the dirty clothes hamper... And he was not about to back down so I needed to find some sort of solution so the police would not be at my door when the situation exploded into a full-blown violent rage. Who knew? So far, the tdocs and psychiatrists have been looking at this as a child who is now suffering from a mood disorder because of being raised by strict and overbearing parents.... I contend that the parents have been long-suffering over a child with an underlying developmental problem that causes frustration which is expressed through anger and violent rages.. We have our second appointment with the new psychiatrist tomorrow-- I wonder which way she will see it? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
