Thanks for the info,

As far as the spitting she does not think about it, it has become pretty

automatic. Sometimes it is " tagging " or some form of touching and sometimes it

is a cleansing act. As for the writting we have tried to have her carry paper

but she can't keep track of pen and paper. The writting thing is something she

has always done and has always been unable to keep it in one place???? Rewards

sound like a good place to start but she is pretty sublte when she needs to be

like at school. So I am not sure how that would work. It is hard to see the line

between habit and complusion. I have tried to have her wash the windows but she

is unable to erase her " notes " We have had long delays in cleaning up because

she needs to take pictures and let me know when it can be removed. It seems

crazy that she writes on the walls and I have to ask to clean it off. We do have

a new system in the main rooms; front windows and kitchen windows. I am just

cleaning as soon as I see it. She had a hard time at first but is writting less

in these areas and does not say anything when I wipe it off anymore. I put a dry

erase board up and she is using that. Thanks for tips on this and any further

ones would be welcomed.

OK, any info on hoarding? She is also a hoarder and we do have a local group

for this but I am interested in any info you may have. It seems to be worse as

she gets older. She saves,collects,loots every thing from paper to cables,

scraps from house projects and my personal items. She squirreled away my drivers

license. Thanks for the responses,
