[QUOTE="nvts, post: 363483, member: 3814"] Boy do I know how you feel...I just got difficult child 1 out of the hospital and I'm ready to knock his block off! All I can say is that she's on a really low dose of Abilify - she might need to be re-evaluated for an adjustment. If she does have Aspergers, I'm not at all surprised that she's doing this stuff. Try and make yourself recognize that while we look at something as a 10 minute assignment, for a kid with your daughters issues, this type of homework is the worst. The meltdown isn't about the homework - the anxiety is associated with the content. Now this is a guess on my part - but any time our kids have to write something about themselves, the don't "get" it. "What if I sound like a jerk" "What if I can't sound smart" "What if someone sees it and thinks blah, blah, blah". The subject matter isn't tangible - it's not something that they can look up and understand. She's at an age that they want to be popular - she's also at an age that she's starting to see that she's "different" than other kids. Trust me - I understand how you feel - it can be torturous sometimes - We're here for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
