[QUOTE="Blue Nude, post: 379811"] Marguerite and AlParedes, She has never been assessed for Aspergers. My husband thinks she could have something along the autism spectrum. I would like to think that one of the 5 psychologists or 2 psychiatrists we've seen over the years would have picked up on it or suggested it, but I may be thinking too highly of them :) She does have extreme focus / obsession over her artwork and drawing. She can draw for hours: 50-60 drawings a day. She has an aversion to hygiene and getting wet. She has very poor social skills. I don't know. Things have been surprisingly calm this weekend. My husband and son went to an Anime Convention. Daughter lost the privilege of going because of continued 0s on her homework. That's when she started cutting -- when she got a 0 after the final warning and lost the privilege. I thought she would make my life hell all weekend since she is home with me instead of at the convention. But she's been fine. Granted, I'm letting her do pretty much what she wants. She spent about 12 hours on her computer yesterday chatting with people on her art websites and using her drawing programs. I think I'm going to have to make her do some laundry today. [/QUOTE]
