Hi TwinkleToes! Thank you so much for your response. She did get tested for Aspergers and it came back insignificant. She used to line things up in a very orderly fasion, and once in a while will still do that but she is very perceptive of social cues, when you're kidding, etc. A girl in her classroom whom she does not get along with came to her one morning and told her that another girl in the class wasn't going to be there...my daughter looked at her and said, "does that mean you'll be nice to me today?" That threw me for a loop.
She used to play more on her own when she was a young 3, lined toys up and did not like her routine being changed. It has occurred to me that I think she gets very intent on what she's doing and dislikes interruption. I stated on another thread I think that she actually called her teacher a "bad teacher" to her face and when I asked her why she said it, it was because she interrupted her, so she still really dislikes having to adhere to a strict schedule.
She does have a phenominal, scary memory...her direction sense is uncanny as she can tell you how to get home or go to a place once or twice and tell you where to turn when you go back.
Using a digital clock has really helped our daughter. She's been able to read one since 2. It helps her transition though she has really improved on being able to do that unless she's on the computer playing games...well then the sassy behavior begins. More arguments are avoided by utilizing the clock.
Our daughter's do sound very familiar. Her behaviors have gotten better. One of the most frustrating things for me however is that she is so sensitive to the behavior of others that in one day she can regress a good years worth! Put her in a room with adults or older children and she is stellar! Put her in a room with kids her own age and chaos ensues! Sometimes I feel so, well I guess defeated in the sense that I see her regress to such a degree and it takes me forever to get her back on track at times depending on the situation.
Wow I can talk! Anyway thank you for your resonse...I wish you the best!
