difficult child took a survey in school that was to identify areas of strongest intelligence out of 8 areas of intelligence:
1. verbal/linguistic
2. logical/mathematical
3. visual/spatial
4. kinesthic
5. musical
6. intrapersonal
7, interpersonal
8. naturalist
difficult child scored a 0 on the intrapersonal area. The questions were things like " if I am happy or angry I ususally know why" or "I stay in touch with my moods. I have no trouble identifying them" There were 5 questions associated with each type of intelligence and difficult child seemed to have no understanding of her moods or facial expressions or any of the things related to her emotions.
Has anyone else seen this in their difficult child?
The neuropysch testing identified her main issue as anxiety and that she was not on the spectrum. I think this could fit in that her anxiety is so overwhelming to her and mixes with anger so that she is just unable to sort out her feelings and make any sense of them.
I welcome your thoughts.
