[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 357797, member: 3419"] Wow, she just never stops! You must be exhausted. She does sound complicated. And I would not rule out autism somewhere in there. Don't know what to think about the hoarding. What does she say about it? Is she hungry? Is it food she's not supposed to eat (I would assume cake mix is on the do-not-eat-unless-baked list :winking:) or is she afraid there will be no more food tomorrow? Having gone through a bit of this myself, I would suggest taking one behavior at a time. It's overwhelming to deal with-it all at once. Right now, you seem most concerned about her not adhering to time limits and not telling you where she is. I had the same issue with-my difficult child but I was mobile and I chased him down from house to house. The neighbors were very nice about it and it was obvious from my repeated queries that there was something going on at our household. :blushing: We finally turned a corner when two boys moved away (they had awesome computer games, PS2, etc and were totally unsupervised), and I was able to corrall difficult child into playing computer games at someone else's house, where I drove him so I could control his movements. I don't know how incapacitated you are, but if you can drive, maybe you can find a mutual friend who has something/someone of interest to your difficult child so you can control her movements, Know what I mean?? You can make it into a fun thing to reward her with. One thing I have found is that when I am too negative, which is easy to do!!!, difficult child becomes even more manipulative. And yes, the Manipulative Child book is great. I got angry at some parts, but then realized it was because it had hit a nerve. :frowny: I'm sending support. [/QUOTE]
