[QUOTE="skeemi, post: 170307, member: 5508"] Thanks for the warm welcome and for the advice. I have already called to make an appointment to have her tested for something else but she does not have any of the traits of autism. She is completely fine with everyone else except me. I have since had another child who is 2 now and 4 yr old is mostly loving to her. She does, however, have a lot of the traits of a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child, toward me. Outside of the home she always displays good behavior and is mostly respectful of others. Again, she is still a "baby" and also displays normal behaviors that all other children her age do. My husband had brought up the fact that he thinks that the medications from doing the invitro may have had some affect on her. Even the therapist had suggested that the medications that I was taking for the Cholestasis may have had some affect on her as well. I think that it was the series of tests for her kidneys over the first two years of her life that did us in. She goes to school and does very well both academically and socially. She is attentive and participates in class activities. She follows direction very well, with her teachers, of course. As far as her progress, before therapy she would tantrum at least 10 times a day. The tantrums have become significantly less lately although there are times when she kind of relapses and will tantrum excessively over the course of a couple of days and then she calms down. And don't get me wrong, when she rages, it is quite the production. She never showed me any affection and now she lets me hug her and kiss her and she says I love you often. I have to be happy with that for now. [/QUOTE]
