[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 87436, member: 1550"] I would be concerned. Not frantic, but definitely concerned. It's up to you what you do, but I'd take her for a neuropsychologist exam. She's too young to know you think there may be something "wrong" with her. Actually, I'm not thinking ADHD, but something else, however you have to take her in yourself and see. Borderline or not, it is not typical to get as angry as she does and hurt others or herself. Her early precociousness could mean something too (not bad, but could point to something). Have a few questions: 1/ Any psychiatric problems on the family tree? Mood disorders? Autistic spectrum/Aspergers? Substance abuse? 2/Does she make good eye contact? Play appropriately (this is sometimes hard to tell at such a young age). Can she transition well when she has to stop doing something or does that set her off? Did she have an early interest in letters and numbers? Is she obsessed with anything, such as an unusual interest in dinosaurs, the weather, a particular television show? Is she great one second and the devil herself the next? Does she show remorse? Any sensitivities to noise or texture? (Phew) [img]:smile:[/img] Do you live outside the US? If so you may want to say so that others from your country can route you towards services. If you're in the US, I highly recommend a neuropsychologist exam. NeuroPsychs are VERY thorough and spot what other professionals often miss. Others will come along too. [/QUOTE]
