[QUOTE="MLA, post: 572064, member: 13255"] Thanks InsaneCdn. She is not diagnosed with most of those things you (I) listed. I'm a former clinical social worker so I know that she presents with clusters of traits that look like all those things. She started in Occupational Therapist (OT) and social work when she was just shy of three yrs. An initial Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation concluded that she had sensory processing disorder (SPD) and motor planning (she was initially brought into EI due to poor articulation- common with motor planning). At that time I didn't realize that her inability to self sooth was more than just her being a challenging kid. She's been formerly tested by a neurologist and also by a neurodevelopmental pediatrician. No one is saying that she is on the spectrum. My boss is somewhat of an expert on Asperger's and always comments that girls are harder to diagnose and she thinks it's a possibility with difficult child. But none of her doctors or therapists have diagnosis her with that. She does have trouble socially, but not always. It depends how regulated she is. The worst is how she interacts with easy child, who is five. She is obsessed with her, like a stalker. If easy child does not want to play, difficult child puts the entire weight of the world on that rejection, bullying her until she relents (poor difficult child- the weight of the world is on her so often). Then when they play, difficult child is constantly jealous and needs to control everything. Poor easy child. She is growing up in the most unhealthy environment. Last night I had husband just take her out of the house so she could get a break from her sister. She still loves her so much and just wants her sister to be consistently "easy" (which is how she is sometimes- like living with an unpredictable alcoholic). Thanks for listening. I'm feeling pretty hopeless at the moment. MLA [/QUOTE]
