[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 216868, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome jinxy! I like your name! This will be a short welcome, usually I post more but I have a hand issue tonight. So, what tests have teh therapists or the school done to evaluate your daughter? There very well may be some reason behind her lies, especially the extravagant ones and the immaturity. She may in fact be on the autistic spectrum. There is a whole range of disorders that are considered on the autistic spectrum, and they are referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), or autistic spectrum disorders. ASDs show up in girls VERY VERY differently than in boys. You may want to look into Aspergers Syndrome or High Functioning Autism. Your daughter sounds like she would be on the VERY HIGH end of hte functioning. (And having an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) does NOT mean that your daughter will not go to college, or have the life she wants. It means she may need some help, esp with social cues.) What was her early development like? I have to go, but am VEERY glad you are here. You seem to have a wonderful attitude about all of this, and it is clear you love and accept your children for who they are. Big Kudos to you (and husband) for not freaking over the sex issue. It is a true testament to your love and parenting skills that she feels comfortable talking to you about this. I will respond more tomorrow. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
