Yes. Hoarding tendencies here, too. She has been diagnosed with anxiety and OCD. She has Asperger's characteristics but no diagnosis (though we were told to "be careful with this as not all doctors will agree.") But we've also been told by her current teacher that in 20 years of teaching, many in gifted ed, she is the "most gifted" child she has met. Blessing and a curse, I guess?

I loved the fetching a dried marker story. Too familiar. smile
