[QUOTE="Jena, post: 125405, member: 4514"] hi to all, i have never posted here, in this particular area. i often write of my little difficult child who is going to be 9. had school mtg. today most of it is under general forum under never a dull moment post. my difficult child is going to be 15 this is wha'Tourette's Syndrome going on now: failing all classes cutting class (has never left bldg. cut first period and cut last) not a behavior problem in school yet teachers say she is disconnected not focusing spacing out not engaging in class at all; no level of ampathy was their main word and concern overall. this has been gradual downward decline for the past 3 years now. school pyschologist mentioned drug use being her age etc. they requested a drug screen be done of which i will do. she also is creating a whole lot of drama it seems according to guidance counselor. i've looked on web for signs to look for basic stuff perfume, borrowing money, unexplained whereabouts, gum usage, etc. is there anyone here who has seen more than just that subtle changes in their children that i may be missing? also is a blood test be enough to test for it? my gut tells me she's not her reaction to the implication isn't anger or even her shutting down it's her laughing saying you have got to be kidding me i wouldn't do that?? so i figured i'd post here and see if anyone has seen anything subtle that i hadn't found on web of changes of behavior appetite, etc. at this point who knows thanks for your time jen [/QUOTE]
