[QUOTE="RR2323, post: 655638, member: 9139"] Yikes! I said she "acts like a brat" and "that is what people see" and "that's how kids see her at school".......I was trying to explain why it is hard for her to have friends. I was not calling her a brat and I do not call her a brat. I think you misunderstood. I am not blaming her, I am trying to figure out what else is going on with her. Nonetheless, yes we have all sorts of professionals with eyes on her. She was diagnosed with Asperger's at one of the top children's hospitals in the country and we continue to follow up yearly. She sees a clinical psychologist weekly. She had psychological testing done through the school and it was quite good. We have considered a private neuropsychologist evaluation yes, so that is in the works. Our home is stable, we are educated, involved caring parents. She has been to social skills groups and camps etc. She does fine in the group but cannot generalize the skills into the real world situations. We have done lots of reading and educating ourselves about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and anxiety. In addition I read "The Explosive Child" and "Lost At School" which I highly recommend. Things are really getting worse :( I told my daughter we were turning off the TV at 6 to eat dinner. I was getting things ready and it was about 6:10. I said OK, time to eat. She grabbed her empty plate off the table and brought it in the family room, insisting that she must watch the TV show and eat in the family room. I turned off the TV, and she threw the glass plate onto the wood floor chattering it! Zero emotional regulation! She would have never done this a few months ago.....she is just falling apart.
