[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 319392, member: 1991"] I remember your case from earlier posts though. And I'm not surprised. I would have thought Aspie, however girls are nororiously difficult to diagnose because it does manifestdifferently in girls. They seem to cope differently, I do think it is a gender difference in brain wiring. As for what you do from here - general advice for autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is what to look for. Every case is individual so you take what info seems to fit and discard what dosesn't. Always re-visit the stuff though, because as she matures you will find some things tat didn't fit before, may fit later. Also, "Explosive Child" is a great book to help you with the practical day to day management of her difficulties in adapting to change, in discipleine in the apparent lack of respect (it is not insolence, it just looks like it, do not allow it to upset you or you will lose focus on the real issues). I posted at length on another thread for a fairly new person, a few of us have written some general ifo there on how these kids tihnk and what NOT to do.
