[QUOTE="Alttlgabby, post: 345272, member: 6786"] Marg, Thank you so much for the helpful information. I understand totally where you are coming from. I had not really heard so much about the face blindness and will certainly be reading up on that (very much why she thinks "everyone" is a friend, rather than just an acquaintance). As for the stealing FOR people... I don't think anyone is putting her up to it since it is some really "dumb" things such as pencils, paper clips, etc... she has said that nobody is telling her to do it or asking her, so that is good that she isn't trying to do it for acceptance. On a better note.. today was a good day. I talked to my oldest son yesterday and asked him if he would take her out and spend some time with her. So, he and his girlfriend took her bowling and to lunch today. I needed a break from her and she needed one from me, I am sure. She and I had a LONG talk last night and she said she was going to try really hard. I told her that I know that she has a really hard time remembering things and that she is very impulsive, but she has to try to remember to try to control these things if she can. We DO keep her on the same page with us as far as her diagnosis and her treatment. I know she is eager to try to help herself because when she first went on medication, she was right on me about getting her medications filled! Now she is on me about getting a diagnosis in San Diego. What seems to worry me about this however, is that she tells everyone at school what is going on. I have told her before that her classmates do not need to know this info about her (kids can be very cruel!).. and she has already discovered this, yet still does it. Hopefully, this week will be much better. I am going to go to the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) site and do that before her psychiatrist appointment this week and therapy, and look into the face blindness thing. Hope things are going well for others. [/QUOTE]
