[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 536462, member: 7170"] And heaven help you if the store closes while you deal with the flat tire that wasn't in the agenda in the kids head. I think that's why none of the sticker charts or reward programs worked here, Angel gets so hyper focused on the reward she totally misses what she has to do to earn it. When she gets in "mission mode" she often gets tunnel vision and anything deters her from mission is often met with aggression. This thread has the potential of getting huge because every parent of kids diagnosis bipolar or on the spectrum is going to see many things their child is doing here - Angel been diagnosis both I could have written that post a couple years ago. I've been looking at this thread then looking at my kid wondering what's bipolar & what's Asperger's (never did figure it out) but I spotted a place I really dropped the ball, the past couple years I've been focusing on treating her bipolar and pretending the Asperger's didn't exist - this thread was a good reminder to me to stop focusing on one disorder and look at whole kid. The only disorder or diagnosis Tiepet listed that Angel has not had at some time was eating disorder (yet a few years back had to padlock the fridge, wonder if we missed one?). I still think a neuropsychologist evaluation would be a good idea Tiepet is correct on a couple major points; a lot of these diagnosis's have overlapping symptoms & this is affecting every aspect of kids life and the entire family. The behaviors she listed and the term "square peg in round hole" has me thinking on the spectrum is a good place to look for answers, but this could be so many different things I was wrong to speculate on a diagnosis. In the back of my mind I'm kind of hoping this is just a very strong willed child with leadership qualities who refuses to follow anyone; don't think so but we can always hope. Are there any food sensitivity issues going on? I know very basic but sometimes with each new discovery I've had to go back to square one and reexamine things that were previously ruled out. Hereditary info, medical rule outs, environmental etc. Hope you get some answers soon I've lived with a kid like this for over 15years and can confirm its a real PITA [/QUOTE]
