[QUOTE="keista, post: 536336, member: 11965"] OMG! Sounds like a VERY INTENSE version of DD1. IOW I'm thinking Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The obsessing about events/items is perseveration to the nth degree. Constantly correcting/reporting everyone else is black and white thinking pertaining to "rules" Of course, it is her perception. This especially becomes a problem when a rule is made, eg no gum chewing, then a classmate chews gum, and there is no punishment. She probably really freaks in such situations. It's because she doesn't understand the subtleties of "exceptions to rules" or allowing ppl some leeway. the rule is the rule is the rule, and she feels the need to report/enforce it. Words like might, maybe, possibly just do not register. They are much too vague. Try not to use such words. Even if she asks for something, it's better to say that you can't make that decision at the moment and simply will not respond right now. Something like that has a much lowere likelyhood of causing her to jump straight to the "it's a go" conclusion. Rushing you on appointments: Need to create visual schedules. Include things that [B]you [/B]need to do to get ready, and the approximate times it takes. Couple this with constant assurance that you are on top of it and if there is a delay you will take responsibility for it. [/QUOTE]
