[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 439751"] I'd agree with serious sensory issues being involved and a full evaluation. My first response was to check for something on the autism spectrum, but don't rule out anything right now. There are a number of things that can cause hypersensitivity but those rages sound like my Kiddo, who is a high functioning Aspie (and my own rages as a kid). Also keep a journal of what she eats, when, her moods, etc. It sounds weird, but also include weather (including barometric pressure and pollen/mold count) and moon phases. Some folks are very sensitive to things that other people are able to easily tune out. If there's an allergy (food, seasonal, whatever) it makes things worse. The Explosive Child? Yeah, get that. In my brain it's become The Book, I really think of it in those capital letters. Even if you can't use everything in it right now, you'll find it helpful. Sounds also like she tries to hold it together at school, and home is her relief valve, where she is safe to release all that pent-up anxiety or whatever she's struggling with, because she knows you love her and will still love her after her rages. Ever get snappish with your parents because you were mad at a teacher? You didn't vent at the teacher but you'd be grumpy to everyone else. Upset with work and take it out on spouse? Same principle, different degree. You are not alone, hang in there. *hugs* [/QUOTE]
