[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251155, member: 1233"] It does sound scary. I used to HATE it when Wiz got that mean look in his eyes. I don't know how to help it. I know risperdal helped my son with it a lot. But that may or may not be right for her. PLEASE do not lock her in a room. Most Children's Protection Services consider that child abuse. You can lose custody or end up with a LOT of interference from social workers if they find out you lock her in her room (or any room). If you have to put her in a room for safety, it should be as safe as possible. If there are some of hte sensory things she uses, they might help her calm down. I would say sit with your back to the door so she can't get out instead of locking her in. That way you are right there to hear her and there is no chance that you can't get her out in case of fire or other emergency. I know that may sound nit-picky. But I have seen members here in the past wind up with MAJOR hassles from CPS because they locked a child in a room (not abusively, in my opinion, just until they calmed down like you did). anyway, I am sorry she is getting that look in her eye. Any chance it might be seizure related? SEizures can cause all sorts of behaviors. [/QUOTE]
