Just something else to look into, because the answer might be SPD, understimulation, or a combination of both. Because you mentioned how far ahead your DD is, and you mentioned she's not in the G/T program yet, so it sounds like she's not getting any kind of intellectual stimulation at school.

Plus, my own DD7 has been having the same issue to varying degrees, and her home meltdown frequency/intensity is inversely proportional to the amount of intellectual stimulation she receives at school.

This could be part of the problem, but then that would mean since was an infant she wasn't getting intellectually stimulated enough since she has always been this way from the day she was born (just manifests in different ways).
