[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 370410, member: 8869"] Umm...ok I think I'm in shock here. The psychologist and a friend of mine who is a Special Education teacher both suggested giving difficult child a little caffeine to see what she does. husband drinks an energy drink before going to my parents simply to calm himself down so he doesn't drive them up a wall so I figured it was worth a shot. difficult child is always begging to share my coffee so this morning I got out two of my 'mommy' coffee cups and made my usual 2 cups and poured about half a cup into hers along with creamer. She's been calm all day. She ate her lunch, played with easy child nicely, no extreme moods, seems more aware of her surroundings. At one point I shoved her blanket off the couch, which typically means a full blown tantrum. This time she looked at me, walked over and said "If you throw my blanket on the floor one more time, I'm sending you to parade rest for two minutes!" That is the longest and most clear sentence she's ever said without any help. The caffeine is beginning to wear off and I'm not getting my hopes up but I really think we're on to something here.
