[QUOTE="busywend, post: 22070, member: 391"] Linda, my difficult child does have the ups and downs of typical to GFGness as well. However, it is not in the same episode. It IS usually within a few hours, but nothing as extreme as kt. My difficult child could be laughing and joking with me for several hours and then turn on a dime and be vicious and mean. I have learned that it will pass and I tend to speak calmly or ignore. She heads off to her room and within an hour can come out all loving and sweet and calm again. I find her room to be very soothing to her. There is NO computer (she does not have any access) but there is a TV and radio and phone (house phone#) in there. Sometimes she is calmed within minutes of just taking a break away alone. I do not know if the extremes are typical or not, I always chalked them up to GFGness. The ups and downs I suspect are typical teen, but the extremes and quick changes...I think are difficult child. [/QUOTE]
