[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607353, member: 1550"] Dstc, you have my heartfelt sympathy. That is so hard for a parent when a child does not act his/her age and has to be supervised constantly. Again, I use myself as an example and I hope this doesn't get tedious but I was such a big difficult child. I was just like your daughter. My Mom used to find half eaten tuna fish sandwiches under my bed and I didn't understand why she thought it was such a big deal. I was a teenager. Have you ever looked up Executive Functioning Disorder? I know for a fact that this is part of my problem so that I had to learn to care about things that others care about instinctively. I also had to work very hard (and still do) at mood regulation and impulse control. Executive function problems are often the reason our kids do not function at age level and do not succeed at their intellectual level. They also cause liable moods and instability. This is the main problem, besides focus, with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but you don't have to have either to have problems in executive function. Let me find a link so you can look it over. Having these problems makes it difficult in life for the person who has it (and those surrounding him/her).
