[QUOTE="totoro, post: 40788, member: 3155"] For us difficult child 1 is the same... pre-medications. She would get a look in her eye and have an explosion. Just like Vickie said we had to keep everyone safe... most times her triggers were "No" but other things set her off as well. A feeling, something she thought, her sister etc. It took a lot to get her back down... she had to come down when her little body/mind would her. sometimes it was and hour or longer. Very violent... But, you really could see a look in her eyes as she changed and lost it. Now on medications she still has these episodes but it easier to work with her. So maybe to an outsider who didn't know the whole picture, they might think she was being manipulative, but she is still having small breakdowns, she is learning to calm herself. but sometimes it happens so fast, and then it will just end. I told her she couldn't do something yesterday and she was unable to deal with my answer she was yelling, said "fine then I will never be able to paint ever again for the rest of my life!" Screamed started crying and ran out of the room. ( I was trying to explain to her that we could not paint at that moment) About 4 minutes later she comes walking back in whistleing and happy as can be??? But, when she was getting upset I really think for her it felt like I was saying, "never" The medications do help her though...able to stop a little quicker... Just more out loud thinking... [/QUOTE]
