[QUOTE="Shari, post: 123526, member: 1848"] Marge, I tried reading some of the text to her and while it seemed to help a little, it didn't help a lot. The school's testing showed she has processing delays. I don't recall what it was called, but they would give a list of 5 words and she could only recall maybe the first one or two. Always. Same with directions, she just couldn't recall them, whether she read them or heard them. They said they had some successful tutoring methods that would help, but - alas - mom won't let her receive it. I also see this in everyday life - she'll want to tell about her weekend and literally it will take her minutes to finish a sentence. God forbid when she wants to tell you about a movie, it will take forever and there will be no character, story line, or plot that can be extracted from what she will eventually get out of her mouth. There are issues. In fact, when she stole money from difficult child 1, when i confronted her with the truth, she admitted it immediately and offered to pay difficult child 1 back. IMMEDIATELY. Prior to me knowing the truth, we asked her repeatedly, and she concocted story after story. Then after she came clean with us, she went back to her mom and told her mom she stole it from her, which was finally the story she'd settled on here as to where the money she suddenly acquired came from, prior to me finding out what really happened. While we KNOW she has a big problem with lying, I also can't help but wonder if part of it is that she can't recall words or maybe even what really happened to tell the truth sometimes, so she blurts whatever comes to mind just to give an answer. Not sure that makes sense, but there are examples where that fits. [/QUOTE]
