[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589546, member: 1550"] Autistic Spectrum Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Not Otherwiwse Specified not otherwise specified ODD-Oppositional Defiant Disorder (many of us don't think this label is useful) Is there a reason you don't want to get her evaluated? Is husband dead against it? She really should be evaluated before she gets worse in her teens. Teens are rarely a time when difficult kids get better...most of our difficult children start getting into serious trouble as teenagers and she's getting there and you don't really know what's wrong with her other than she explodes (and I'm not sure what you mean by that). She can verbally explode or actually explode on other people. Both are red flags. You really should get professional help and not try to do this yourself. in my opinion it won't work. If she is hitting you or even her brother and/or breaking things, this is far beyond normal anger and it needs to be brought under control. We aren't trained for that. Has she ever seen at least a therapist? If you don't want to answer, you sure don't have to. That's your business. But it is unusual to try this alone and to go without an evaluation. And in my own humble opinion, you really can't handle these kids alone. You need help outside of the family...for one thing, we are very emotionally involved in our child and can get too lax or too harsh. Or it's easy and safe for us to pretend that the child is really ok, just a little more extreme than a normal kid (until bigger stuff happens, if it does. And then it's way late). For another...we don't have the training. The Explosive Child is more effective for younger kids, but also is not done without outside help too, at least not by the vast majority of us here. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
