[QUOTE="keista, post: 448654, member: 11965"] neuropsychologist is neuropsychologist. "mean girl"? Possible, but even the 'mean' 6 and 7 y/os I've come across don't use the types of expressions you had posted. And as you said, the outbursts are her own. In my opinion (in my opinion) those outbursts (and associated language) come from the same place (in the brain) as her creativity. I'm not a Dr, but a "Mom researcher" and I see that with my own DD1. She used to be the most fantastic liar!. Fortunately I was able to 'break' her of the lying and turn her into a fantastic storyteller. As she gets older, her stories get darker and more sinister. Fortunately again, she is also an avid reader, so I've steered her towards age appropriate spooky/scary books and she is now learning to 'temper' her stories into an acceptable medium. That doesn't change the fact that she has thoughts that seem to come out of nowhere and truly are sinister and scary. Often too scary for her to share. Until recently she didn't share these thoughts via outbursts - she would internalize them. Your wife and daughter need serious professional help. I wish I could point you to a suspected diagnosis (diagnosis). [I]We cannot and do not diagnosis but offer direction to dxes based on our personal experiences and gut instinct from what gets posted[/I]. I can get you started with your suspicions of sensory issues. Research Sensory Integration Disorder. And while that can result in some tremendous outbursts, my gut is telling me that that's not the entire story because if you suspected sensory issues, and minimized their exposure and effect, there would have been a drastic decrease in outbursts. After that, you might want to research all the most popular dxes on this board. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD/ADD, anxiety, bipolar, depression, mood disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified.
