my 10 year old has behavior and speech problems ! Posted: 08-14-07 15:21pm
I am having problems with my 10 year old.
She gets very upset if you get on to her.
If you ask her why she has done something
she breaks into tears apologizing. She
doesn't however give explanations. The
next time she says because she wants or
doesn't want to. She will then cop with "I
hate it here!" She has many other strange
behaviors such as constantly organizing
different types of playing cards. This
goes on all day long. She flat refuses to
do any type of physical activity. She will
sit and stare at you for long periods of
time bulging her eyes or just squinting
and blinking them over and over and over
again. She has speech problems. The speech
teacher says she is about to test out of
speech because she does great in class but
the second she leaves she starts all over
again with poor speech. She refuses to do
homework. She simply writes down answers
unless you go through each problem
individually with her. Instead of reading
books she "reads" the pictures. I am just
at such a loss. No matter what you ask of
her she flat refuses. She only plays with
younger kids for the most part (4 and 5
year olds) and bullies all that she plays
with. She only likes playing games such as
house, or school, or even cops but only if
she is in charge. I am at such a loss. She
has been in group counseling for almost 4
months and nothing is changing. If
anything else it is getting worse. She is
getting worse by the day. We are getting
back results from a psychological
assessment on Thursday but I am not sure
it is all behavioral. I live in Oklahoma
and don't know of many resources. Please
help me!

The emotianal issues, repetitive behavior,
speach problems etc.
This sounds like Autism. Theres nothing
more to then to wait for that assessment.
