[QUOTE="Star*, post: 127040, member: 4964"] Toto, I'm stuck too. And I will tell you that total days of unending sunshine after living in OH where there are about 32 actual days of total blistering sunshine all year - made me just ill. I can't ever live in FL due to it - I get depressed if I don't have overcast and rainy days. They also help with my migraines so I don't think it is that far-fetched to believe it could have something to do with sensory overload and mania. The girls are used to overcast skies and AZ is .....just cheery and sunny a lot. As far as her raging in the pool? I guess my first thought was bait and switch. Which works sometimes in a pinch for those embarrassing moments you just have to get them out of wherever. Bait and switch would be like - have a bag of something irresistible things that are not allowed unless there is a total melt down, like a new favorite toy or movie or something that breaks that drone thinking. The back side of this - is that if you do it over and over it becomes expected and then habit and you are back to square one. Ultimately the best thing to do albeit it seems to never ever never ever freaking ever work is to do what SLSH said and give her a choice - then remove her. After 11 years I can tell you that I grew very tired of doing this with seemingly no end in sight - but after 7th grade it DID work. SO we had to do the remove, restrain, regain for around 5 years to see any results. And at his age 11 or so - I couldn't hardly hold him anyway despite taking classes on therapeutic holds. Some of his rages were so violent - I felt like the ER was on call for us. I wish there was something I could tell you to help. Hugs to you all. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
