[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 171398, member: 1550"] I'm wondering if she has learning disabilities perhaps due to her epilepsy. I think seeing a neuropsychologist would be a great idea because that's what they do--pinpoint both psychiatric and neurological issues--and her behavior could be largely due to a neurological difference. I'm not an expert on epilepsy, but I know all about right temporal lobe problems because I have them. Nobody is sure why. I have a serious NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) which made it very hard for me to control myself and caused serious mood problems and learning disorders. If they had diagnosed this early, I'm sure I could have gone to college and learned coping skills etc. Your daughter probably can too. Is she on medication for the epilepsy? I think there is a lot of hope and help out there for your little girl. Does she have an IEP for school? How does she do, since she has that short term memory problem (something I've also had all my life). I don't even know what "senior moment" is. I've always had them...lol!! I would start very early to teach her to take notes of everything--time, dates, homework...EVERYTHING! [/QUOTE]
