[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 359943, member: 1991"] Sorry, it doesn't sound normal to me. Not too way off normal, but a few flags in there for me, that would have me at least making a few discreet enquiries. After all - your mummy instinct is firing off here, you felt this was a bit "off". Something about your daughter, and the things you mentioned, are concerning you. And if you are concerned, then I think you need to arrange to get her assessed by a neuropsychologist. The others may be right - it could be nothing, it could just be a little kid being a bit too pushy in this situation. But you mention stuff tat is socially inappropriate, is lacking in empathy, is very egocentric and controlling, and also her sounding like she's a lot older - also she's female, which while it makes Asperger's less likely, also means that Asperger's, if there, is going to most likely be a bit different to the usual. I saw similar things with easy child 2/difficult child 2. Not the control over her friends in this way, but in the "she was fine until she was about six" routine. Getting her assessed sooner gives you a better chance of something being picked up. If she's bright, she will learn to slide by and will mask symptoms as she gets older, because she will learn (the hard way) that she has to fit in. I do think you stepping in the way you did was very good. She needs to learn, and even if this is Asperger's - well, she is still capable of learning how to behave appropriately. But she may need more intensive lessons as well as a different way of teaching them. Marg [/QUOTE]
