It sounds like autism but i cant be sure.
Have they given her any kind of diagnosis
at all? I think that the jerking in her
sleep is the seizures.
I think that what you need to do is to
relax.
Do you know why she throws the
tempertantrums? If its just because you
can just ignore them. and they will
eventually stop.Ill have to warn you that
the temper tantrums may get worse before
they lessen. dont give in or else you
reinforce a stronger tantrum. Do you
have anything that she really likes that
you can reward her for being good with?
LIke something to look forward to. for
instance plan an activity that she really
likes to occur after school so she has
something to look forward to.
