[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 330672, member: 3419"] Yup. Go for custody. She's in good hands now and you can make a difference. Drawing on sheets ... my son did that. I asked him why and he said he didn't know. Of course. Keep in mind that bipolar and autism spectrum issues are very similar in young children. Poor muscle tone on one side and Learning Disability (LD) are great clues! However, I have no idea what the medical name might be. Others here can help. Obviously, a bona fide medication evaluation can help. In the meantime, don't buy so many sweets. If they're not there, she can't eat them. Lock up things you don't want her to have. Carry the keys in your pocket or on your body. She is impulsive and you are not locking up things to spite her, you are locking up things to help her help herself. At some point, you will have to do an elimination diet. Clearly, her metabolism is out of whack and you need to get her on the correct diet. (I'm guessing higher protein, less carbs/aka sugar.) I also agree with-Marg that you have to explain things to her. Things that may be obvious to us are not to these kids. Explain them to her over and over. I guarantee, you will be sick of it! But these kids don't learn by just one experience. Sigh. Mostly, take care of yourself. If your well is empty, you cannot fill others'. [/QUOTE]
