[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 606971, member: 1550"] Did she have one primary caregiver or did grandma, auntie, dad, you etc. all take turns taking care of her. Divorce is a major disruption at a tender time in her life. I think IC is thinking of what I am. Perhaps she has an insecure attachment. Her symptoms remind me of the kids I've fostered (and one that I adopted) who have had attachment problems of various degrees. Crazy lying is a big symptom. Being mean to animals is another. Violence, of course. Lack of a conscience or a diminished conscience is a big sign. If a little kid sees another child crying, most kids will be upset and may even go up to the child to try to f ind out what's wrong or give them a hug. Attachment disordered kids normally do not act upset that a peer of theirs is hurting. And if they do something wrong, they don't disply any remorse. I think a good neuropsychologist evaluation would help you figure out what is going on. I'm just a layman parent, but it doesn't sound like the usual suspects to me...sounds worse than ADHD and not particularly consistent with autism. Sounds like she needs somebody very smart and well-educated in childhood testing to see her. Hugs and let us know what you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
