[QUOTE="VidQueen, post: 192935, member: 5871"] Thank you for the link, MidWest Mom...I took one of the tests listed there and it came back with a possiblity of mild autism. I will definately do some more research into that possiblity. Bipolar Disorder doesn't run in either side of difficult child's family, but her Dad is currently being treated for depression. He was molested as a preteen and has had emotional and maturity issues ever since (hence throwing our then 3 year old difficult child across a room into a wall). But, again, for him that was an environmental cause, not biological. He also had some pretty nasty parenting by his Alcholic Dad, but I won't go there:sick: Nancy, I'm so glad to hear other Mom's say this can be a problem all on its own. I'm sure there are some out there who are just normal kids with standard behavior problems (which we thought was our problem for quite a while), but when you are staring at a three year old who appears to be at such a level of rage that the only logical conclusion is demon possession.....something else must be going on there! (...and since having her young easy child sister, who is now 3 1/2, I can easily see how a "normal" child behaves. VERY different.) The problem that I'm running into is my difficult children defiant [I]activity[/I] is normal for her age....it's the [I]degree[/I] of it that is way out of whack. No child happily trots of to bed when it's bed time (at least none that I've met); but most don't kick, scream, slam doors and threaten the family pet when it's bed time either. My difficult child definately has some separation anxiety, but hey...she just started Kindergarten; that's tough for any 5 year old. I can't seem to separate what is "normal" for my 5 year old and what is truly exagerated behavior (besides the rage fits; we know those are abnormal). Anyway...thank you, everyone, on this forum. I hope to be as helpful to others as you all have been to me:happy: Knowlege is Power. Take care, everyone.....Jennifer [/QUOTE]
