[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 516425, member: 1550"] Hi there, and I"m so sorry you are having a hard time. I do have a few pesky questions that may help us help you better. The more we know about your daughter, the better picture we can draw of her. And maybe we can give you ideas. Is her psychological evaluation that you have scheduled at a University Hospital (I love them) and is this a Neuropsychologist (love them too)! Now I have some behavioral questions. I hope they do not seem overwhelming. Just answer what you feel you can. I am wondering how she interacts with her same age peers and if she knows how to hold a give-and-take conversation with people or if she just likes to talk about, say, one topic and monologue at people? Does she know about personal space? Any problems with loud noise or crowds or certain fabrics or textures of food? Does she make strong eye contact with people, including strangers who talk to her? Does she like affection? Does she have any odd quirks such as lip smacking or sucking her shirt or making loud noises that hurt your ears? Can she change from one activity to another without having a meltdown? Hang in there! A few more and I"m done! Promise! Was thre any trauma in her background or change of caregivers when she was very young, say, as an infant. What's the story with Dad? Even if she has never met him, she has 50% of his DNA. Is he mentally ill or disabled in any way? Does he abuse substances, which is often a byproduct of a mood disorder or some other problem? His family tree is genetically as critical as yours. You should present all this info to whomever is seeing her. Anything we should know about his personality that may mirror hers? Welcome to the board, but so sorry you had to come to us. [/QUOTE]
