[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 460179"] I am thinking along the autism spectrum line too. The need for routine, the "anxiety" in the car and stores and theme park, not wanting to be touched or only by certain people. I could go on but I don't want bore you. When she is used to being able to get you mad and now whe can't, that is making her change how she expects things to go which is another problem kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have. I agree with Insane in that she needs a very thorough evaluation. A neuropsychologist is the best resource if you can find one. Another is a Child psychiatrist with experience in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but not limited to that specialty. We tend not to believe that ODD is a "real" diagnosis even though it is in the DSM. A lot of us here have dealt with that misdiagnosis only to have it turn out to be something else. You're lucky that she is so young. Early intervention is a key to overcome some of these behaviors. To start with, I would try to find out WHY she wants to make you mad or WHY she is angry about something. That will give you an idea of how she thinks so you can try to work with her on a solution. Without understanding where she is coming from you won't know how to help her go where you want her to go, if you know what I mean. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. This has to be hard for both of you. [/QUOTE]
