[QUOTE="juliabohemian, post: 174085, member: 5566"] Not sure about autism. Her communication skills are excellent -the verbal ones, anyway. She has no trouble explaining something, when it suits her. She was plenty affectionate and physical as a baby/toddler -slightly less now, but still. She had no delayed physical development. It's possible that she has some non-verbal learning disability or a sensory intergration dysfunction, like discussed in "The Explosive Child." I will look into this Neuro-psychiatric. The kids have healthy families, so they have excellent medical coverage. It just doesn't cover regular therapy sessions. I have noticed that she does better when I warn her in advance that something is going to happen. Like it was 8:45 and I told her it's time for bed. She immediately screamed and then I said -[I]finish whatever your reading and be prepared to be in bed by 9[/I] and she was much more adapting. I guess the thing that bothers me most is that she treats my every command/order as though it's a suggestion that she has the option of turning down. I have no patience and no energy. When I've got this other kid that just does what she's supposed to do with no hassle, the problem is more obvious. [/QUOTE]
