[QUOTE="3goofykids, post: 582681, member: 16017"] My husband's uncle is bipolar. I had an uncle who was schizophrenic and a cousin was just recently diagnosis'd schizophrenic. I'm told she acts well with her peer group. When I see her with her peer group she seems ok. At school she wants to be really helpful. No explosions at school. we have been trying to rack our brains to figure out if anything happened around age 5 that could have triggered anything. We can't come up with anything. We've tried asking her questions etc.... Nothing. I've had people tell me that I should feel lucky for both herself and me that she's having her rages at home. But then people look at me like I have 3 heads about the whole thing. No texture aversions like Dd2 or social dysfunction or averted eyes. DD2 has huge texture issues. I cooked chicken the other night, which she loves. I shredded it on her plate. She refused to eat it because it was shredded even though it was the same kind of chicken she's always eaten, it was just shredded. difficult child loves to give hugs and be the center of attention, to the point of she will get very angry if the attention is not on her solely at all times. I've never once considered her on the spectrum. No social, texture, or eye contact concerns. No specialization in any one topic. DD2 is an expert on weather, dogs, and dinosaurs. difficult child doesn't display any of this. DD2 sees everything in black and white,no areas of compromise with her at all. difficult child can compromise during her clearheaded moments, which are few and far between. As a baby, difficult child had chronic ear infections and was a late talker. She had tubes at 13 months. She started talking and walking right after she got her tubes. She's had one set. She has a ruptured ear drum at the moment and is slated for ear drum surgery later this month. I believe she had a milk allergy that made her ear infections worse as a baby, but she never tested positive for it, even though every time she drank milk, she oozed green gook out of every orifice in her head and got an ear infection. I had her on soy milk after her first birthday. She slept well and aside from the ear infections, was pretty healthy. I have puzzled through all of this and I can't figure out any of it, yet she remains an enigma. We parent our girls fairly and have had this affirmed by the therapists we've seen. Although, my mom would say differently.... No learning disabilities. I think she may be gifted. She has a talent for reading music and plays the piano. She also has a tremendous throwing arm that I wish I could harness into a team and use it constructively. It's hard to explain it all and I always feel crazy when I explain it because she appears to act like like this raging child at home. [/QUOTE]
