[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 168357, member: 45"] My easy child is about 4 years younger than difficult child and has copied a lot of his behaviors... name calling, temper tantrums, and the like, but I can tell she is not a difficult child (at least in my mind) because she doesn't have the meltdowns difficult child has. She is stubborn and will refuse to do what I say a lot of times but in the end she understands consequences and if I threaten to ground her she will relent. difficult child won't most of the time. Some of what you're describing doesn't sound like learned behavior - like being so over-the-top afraid at night. You said she can't listen to what you're saying, not won't... sounds difficult child to me. I think it's worth at least getting an assessment. Lots of Aspies will talk your head off, on their own terms and about the subjects they are interested in. There are some online tests/questionnaires that may be able to help - I think one is childbrain, found here: [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddq6.shtml[/url] that may help you. Linda [/QUOTE]
