Re: puberty issues -- fears

I am surprised that no one thinks of consulting a psychologist, the kind of

professional who makes a living treating (successfully, I might add) irrational

fears.

Hi ,

My daughter is 8 and has VERY extreme irrational phobias. <snip>

We are concerned about our 12 year old daughter's comment that 'her moods are

telling her to hit herself, but her brain is telling her not to' when she gets

angry. Is this seen very often in a child that has autism and OCD?

We also have a family histery of Schizophrenia. Her grandmother, great uncle,

and great great grandfather had it on my side. Her great grandmother had it on

her dad's side. Would this still be considered having a behavior seen as an

early sign of a related condition. Or part of the autism spectrum.

She is very able to verbally express herself. At the time she said it she had

been in timeout for having a meltdown. However, she wasn't angry when she had

said it after she calmed down.

Unfortunately we don't have any child psychologist in our area. So we will need

to be referred else where.
