[QUOTE="RR2323, post: 655604, member: 9139"] Thank you for the reply. My daughter has always been very inflexible. This inflexibility leads to problems because things cannot go perfectly her way all the time. She seems to be in an endless anxiety/inflexibility cycle.....anxiety makes her need to feel in control which makes her inflexible which causes more anxiety. She has a hard time making and keeping friends. One reason is because she is not always so fun to be around when she is controlling you. When she does make a friend she ends up getting annoyed at them over something small and then doesn't want to be their friend anymore! She is very quick to write people off. She does this with her family as well... she will be happy doing something with us but the minute something doesn't get her way she tells us she hates us and wishes we were dead. She is extremely bright but lately she refuses to do any work. She is stuck in a funk where she only wants to do what she wants to do and that is that. She doesn't get what she wants when she refuses (we are very good about following through) but then she is more miserable to live with. She doesn't take others feelings into consideration, she is impulsive, she reacts very quickly (fight or flight). She perseverates on things (if she decides she hates someone or something then she will be obsessed with hating that person/thing). She has a poor self-image, she thinks she is stupid, she thinks everyone hates her. We are on a constant emotional roller coaster with her and I often wonder if we are dealing with more than Asperger's and Anxiety. [/QUOTE]
