[QUOTE="liz_milne, post: 425170, member: 11873"] Hi and thanks for responses. Firstly I understand about screen name, never really thought at first and if someone can tell me how to go about changing it, I will. I have never heard of, and subsequently had a look at sensory integration disorder, none of the symptoms sound like her really. I also see what you mean about her brain being hyper but her body not. that makes much more sense to me! with regard to the playpark, I will now not allow her to go alone or with friends and will now go with her as she still needs her outdoor playtime and fresh air. Lying is another trait she is picking up on but doesn't seem to understand or comprehend WHY it is wrong, and I have tried explaining to her basically in babyish terms so she would understand, but still little white lies come out and don't know how to deal with this. It's the learning to treat her different to other kids, WITHOUT it being obvious that she feels like she is being a - treated like a baby, or b - getting away with murder that's the hard bit. the socks thing I can let go of. That's just one of 1000 scenarios that I chose to type, as it happened this morning and was fresh in my mind. Hair brushing is another one. She will make it as hard as possible to brush her hair and refuses to do it herself, resulting in her going to school with very very messy bed hair, but doesn't bother her (this was just something I put down to being lazy and not wanting to do her hair). i have actually put alot of her behaviour down to laziness, cos she can't be bothered to do something properly, so I now know I have to look at things from a much wider angle and try to understand things differently. Should I ignore her when she is in battle mode (23 out of 24 hours a day?) or do I give in to her? I don't know which is best sometimes! I also realise that children learn almost everything from their upbringing but she has had such a nice upbringing, not too spoiled, nice family, great school, lots of support with homework etc. i'm ranting again! sorry! Ok, the high functioning autism suggests that the child most likely had or has difficultly with speech or slow learner. She is in fact completely the opposite. At 18 months had a huge vocabulary and very clearly spoken. at 2 could hold a full conversation with any adult and has always understood reading and spelling and writing. She excels at maths and art. her speech is very clear (too clear sometimes with the hurtful things she says !) ok, gotta run for now, but will check on later x [/QUOTE]
