[QUOTE="oldchristine, post: 312747, member: 8225"] Thanks for the welcome! Its good to talk to others who understand. I have looked into Auspergers esp. because of her obcsessive computer/art stuff and her disinterest in her body. However, when she is "on" and ready to socialize, she will doll herself up and she dresses cute and makes great eye contact.Its just much more sporadic than other teen s.She has acne just from neglect that she covers up when she leaves the house. To know her is to love her, and when she clicks with someone who gets her, she is quietly popular, blending with the group. She can even be hyper, screaming and carrying on in fun. But those times are getting less frequent as her attendance issues are distancing her from a social life, by her choice. She went to a psychiatrist last year, and I have considered bi- polar as a possibility, though the staying up all night and clear pattern are not there, and she was put on Depacote. She gained 5 lbs in 4 days shes already heavy, and she slept all the time. She did not click with the psychiatric and would not return for a medication change. The psychiatric refused to reschedule and said"lets just see how sick she gets"... Her behavior seems to fit with Borderline Personality esp. her feelings of emptiness, despair, low self worth and she gets fixated on boys she talks to online and then falls apart when they do not talk to her enough, or break the relationship. Her father has been very distant the past 3 years. She is not attention seeking of men too much in real life, but it seems she would love to disappear into her online world, which we strictly limit in time and content. Its probably Borderline or Bi-polar She was better being put on Zoloft, but she won't SHOW UP for much, so a real psychiatric evaluation will probably need to be admittance to a facility. This year was, "to see how sick she is". The school tells me that even an ED accomodation will not excuse non- attendance, but her main symtom is unwillingness to show up! [/QUOTE]
