[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 302201, member: 905"] My daughter was diagnosis with bipolar when she was 16, but to this day, I still think she is more on the Pervasive Development Disorder spectrum (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)). The one thing that stuck out in your comment above was the dinner issue (and it could have been anything), but it shows some rigid thinking patterns. My daughter would get "stuck" on one thing and that is all that mattered (we called it her "tunnel vision" way of thinking). The same with transitions or changes in plans. If something was suppose to happen a certain way, then it had BETTER happen that way, or there would be meltdowns. If the schedule at school said lunch started at at 12:00, then it had better not start at 11:59 or 12:01 or she would be nagging the teacher and telling the principal. She was not afraid to make it known that things weren't being done the way she was told it should. And again, it could have been about any situation, I am just using that as an example. So, when I saw your comment about the change in dinner plans, it made me think about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and perhaps it is work looking into. I hope things settle down with the after school issues, but she is probably having trouble transitioning between school and home. Maybe if there was one thing that was routine when she got home, it would help her settle in better (maybe she knows that she can watch her favorite show for 30 minutes before doing anything else or have a snack or something along those lines). Also, have you ever tried making a schedule for the evenings, so she knows what to expect? If she is truly on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) spectrum, she might function better under those parameters. Just a few thoughts. [/QUOTE]
