[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 641307, member: 3419"] Welcome, NZmum. I agree, she may have Asperger's, in the gifted range for language. My son does well with language, too, and he aced spelling and English for many yrs. He's in Honors English now in HS. And he's got a 504 plan. Don't know what you call it in NZ, but it is a contract that you draw up with the teachers. Your daughter can be given more time for test-taking, or can be given a quiet place in school to study, or when she has a rage. As she grows, she will learn when she is going to rage and can excuse herself from class to go sit in a special room (often, the nurse's office). Just a few examples. My son was very, very much like your daughter. He hated to go anywhere and we stayed home a lot. :( Luckily, we ended up with-one of the best therapists in the U.S. and we have come a long way. I would take her to a neuropsychologist, and a psychiatrist, and see if you can get her on some clonidine or something, which is an adult heart medication used off-label for kids because it's not addictive. It will take the edge off. My son was hospitalized when he was in middle school and that's when we learned about that medication. Also, the hospital routine worked like a charm. When we went to visit him, it was the first time he'd smiled at us in yrs. Makes me teary eyed all over again. [/QUOTE]
