[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 578095, member: 15907"] She had a full kariotype as part of the CHOP/Children's Seashore House assessment, and they ruled out Prader/Willi. (They also did a sleep-seizure test.) Her situation I wouldn't consider full Pica - when for example I shared with a friend the Moth Ball Incident, she said "Yeah, I remember doing that once as a kid. They taste kind of minty and crumble in a neat way in your mouth." These days she doesn't eat non-food. She will eat anything that tastes like candy, and pick anything with gluten/dairy she can find out of the trash, or - last week her school aide put away a volleyball and came back to find her picking the leftovers out of a baggie she'd pulled through the ventholes of a neighboring locked gym locker. Kiddo is fast, and sneaky, and a dreadful liar. :) (It was actually funny. Visiting my mom in SoCal, we were in the house for not more than 5 minutes, my mom ASSURING me she'd made the house safe for Kiddo when out walks Kiddo from the guest room with a box of moth balls, munching away like they were, well, peppermint bonbons. Hello, Poison Control! She ate only 3, and they gave me instructions on what to do, and she had the nastiest diaper rash ever from that. No joke, it could have killed her had she gotten any further into the box. As it is, her diapers smelled like camphor for about 3 months.) [/QUOTE]
