[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 344497, member: 8831"] just wanted to say, that in my difficult child 2's case--- she's artsy and loves to draw in general, and does so all the time. BUT eventually the drawing was a gigantic red flag. the more prolific it became, the more mania became apparent in her. it actually did appear to be beyond her control, and was all consuming. at first i, too kept telling her to stop doing it, yada, yada because she was getting in trouble over it. she just couldnt. certainly not saying this applies to your situation....i only mention it because i pretty much didnt "get" it and assumed wrongly that it was behaviorial. but i will also tell you now thats she's on the road to proper medication/treatment its back to her regular, "i'm artsy" drawing--and no longer covering every single bit of schoolwork. i'm still trying to get her to lose her "professional signature :happy:" which involves her embellished with stars signature--and practice for when she needs to "sign autographs" when she's famous...ROFL....i dont have the heart to argue with that rationale.... i [/QUOTE]
