How was your daughter's infancy? Easy? Difficult?
Very difficult, her Sperm Donor(SD) was living with-us for about 18mo but was not there emotionally, I left him in 8/04. Met DADDY in 10/04.
When did her challenging behaviors start?
Started about age 2.5
Is there any history of substance abuse, mood disorders or neurological disorders in the family tree?
Addiction on both sides of the family, heavy on mine. Mood disorders on both sides, again heavy on mine Bipolar, ADD/ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ODD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), etc
Is she in school/daycare? Any problems there?
Attends preschool, they say she is wonderful, only a few "normal" tantrums
How does she do with friends/peers?
She does ok until things dont go her way, then watch out. Doesnt have too many friends as she alienates them real quick.
Does she has strong reactions to loud rooms, food textures, clothing or bright lights?
Doesnt like loud noises, any thing red to eat, ~Very particular
about certain things...blankets have to be flat..or else
Does she seem frustrated rather than angry when she rages?
Sometimes, other times she just rages
Any underlying health conditions?
What exactly does this mean....Asthma, allergies, bites nails until they bleed. Won't sleep.
Hopefully I did this right,
