[QUOTE="massmumma, post: 259229, member: 7092"] I am so happy I found this board. It seems like there are alot of people who really care. I just started reading The Explosive Child. This may sound wierd but my eyes started to well while reading it. I am actually trying to get a consultation with Dr. Greene because he is right in my back yard. I know he only takes on certain clients so hopefully he will see her. We saw one counselor over the summer while I was pregnant but that was a joke. The therapist seemed like she wanted to be my friend more than talk about my daughter and she constantly talked about her own kids the whole time asking me for advice about hers. She actually was comparing her kids to mine because she had a child the same age as mine. It was very bizarre. I ended up lying and saying she was fine now and ended the sessions. Her "tics" that she has only started recently. About 6 months ago I could put anything on her feet and dress her in anything and she did not bat an eyelash. She has always been a picky eater but I think that was her age. She is actually starting to try new foods now. She use to line things up all the time (only occassionally now). She does have an obsession with kitties. Everything has to be kitties. She draws about a thousand kitties a day. I think 95% of her stuffed animals are kittes. This has been going on for years. The kitties can sometimes cause a meltdown. For example, if she sees another little girl with a kitty shirt on she flips out because she is the only one who is allowed to like kitties. She gets mad if her friends have an actual cat. I wish I could get her a cat but we can't have animals where we live. It is so hard to sort out her quirks because some of them are age appropriate and I have trouble distinguishing between them. I don't want to analize every little thing she does because in reality everyone has their own little quirks. I have a ton of anxiety. Something I have had since I was a kid. Anxiety disorders run in my family. At least I think they do. Everyone in my family is too stubborn to go to a doctor about it but its pretty obvious. I think my father is bi-polar but again he is too stubborn to go to the doctor. He has CLASSIC symptoms that fit him to a T such as can't keep a job even though he is VERY educated and capable skillwise. He just wakes up one morning after working at a job for 6 months (happily) and says screw it and never goes back and then locks himself in his room for another 3 months saying the world *****.
