[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 32855, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. in my opinion, it sounds like the type of anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior associated with high functioning autism. These kids are very inflexible, can't handle change, and it alone can cause rages. Rather than guessing, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist for intensive testing. I have a kid on the high end of the autism spectrum, and he used to FREAK and RAGE if anything was even changed in his room or if we went somewhere and didn't go "the way you're supposed to go" etc. Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be, and often are, just part of the Spectrum and it can get A LOT better with the right interventions. The defiance is often due to extreme frustration and fear, which, again, in an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid is part and parcel of the disorder. A neuropsychologist does intensive testing, unlike a regular psycologist, and has extra training in the brain, unlike a regular psycologist. Even Psychiatrists missed my son's high functioning autism. I suggest reading about Aspergers Syndrome. Did your child either have speech delays or very early precocious speech? Sensitive to sounds, touch, foods, or anything else? Does she like to memorize things? Have focused, intensive interests in, say, one or two topics? How are her social skills.
