Wish I'd heard this years ago!

[Guest guest]

I just joined and reading over the messages, I could have used this

knowledge years ago! Especially the clothing! My dd is now 14 and it

seems like we've been muttling thru the clothing problems all her life.

We've wasted a lot of good clothes and I actually learned what not to

buy for her. She has been on meds and regular therapy for approx. 7

yrs., but I am trying to learn how to help her myself.

Now, our biggest battle is the nighttime routine. She must sleep in her

own bed (nowhere else even in our house), in the same pjs, same tv

show, etc. or she is afraid of getting sick during the night...I made

her sleep in the living room one night (after some battling, crying,

etc.) She started this during the summer and it has cost her friends as

they don't understand why she won't spend the night.

I look forward to reading more.
