[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 683817, member: 15799"] The more I read, the more scared I get for your daughter. I get that as a parent you want her to adult because after all, legally, she is one. However, for whatever reason she can't yet she's being treated like she won't. You keep comparing her to you but she isn't you. She obviously does need that much sleep. That seems to be the biggest obstacle from what you've described. Punishing her for needing more sleep than you think she should have is almost cruel. Because one of my sons can't get up in the morning, or if he does can't accomplish much, we switched to online school 5 years ago. He graduates this year and has been on the A honor roll pretty consistently, something that NEVER would have happened if he had been forced to stay on our local brick-and-mortar school daily schedule. Please read the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. While your daughter isn't explosive, everything he says in there is SO true. If you believe that all kids do well if they can, a lot of things change. You really need to stop looking at her as a non-compliant brat to a disabled child and get her the services she needs so she has even a slight chance to meet the timelines you've set for her. Hopefully a medication change will help but I wouldn't hold out for a miracle cure. I realize you have disabilities and have a lot on your plate but you also have a disabled daughter that obviously needs more of something to be able to do what you want her to do. [/QUOTE]
