Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I hope that you can also learn how to best deal with your daughter's OCD. Yes, I too worry about letting my daughter take over the family so to speak. Personally, I try to treat her the same as my other daughter. Some concessions need to be made for sure, but I don't want my other daughter, her sister, to begin to dislike her own sister because of her behavior and give the impression she is getting away with things. I try to hold my OCD daughter to the same behavior standards. It's a delicate balance and I am learning. I will say that my daughter is 12 and her OCD is not as extreme as it sounds your daughter's is. I see what you're saying about the impression your daughter's melt downs have in public to the people in the immediate area. Maybe a therapist can help you come up with ways to improve that or deal with it, but in the meantime, you'll have to develop a tough exterior and do what is best for your daughter and not worry about those who might be judging your parenting skills. I know that is stressful for any parent. But, you've caught it early and as your daughter matures and receives therapy, hopefully, she can learn to deal with the OCD. It will be very challenging, but all you can do is the best you can do. Good luck and keep us all posted on her progress. > > > Hi I am new here my name is Crystal.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I actually have talked to lexi's doctor she tells me that I cannot hold lexi to the same standards as ashlynn. Ashlynn (her sister) is completely different then lexi. We have set up with the school that Lexi needs a safe zone to go to. When she gets to overwhelmed ie... around holidays when things are not the normally she goes into melt down. I have gotten really good at knowing during holiday partys that we have about 30 seconds to leave before she will freak out. The freak out lasts about 30 minutes and normally she needs to be in a quite room with no a television or a book. I know that is will prob get better with age right now she just does not seem to understand what is going on. thanks for your info and support it means alot to know that I am not the only one going thru it. > > > > > > > Hi I am new here my name is Crystal.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 If/when she spits do you make Her clean it up or do you do it? I teach a MS class and a student had this issue. She would spit often and yes it was sensory and behavioral for her. EVERY time she spit, SHE was responsible for cleaning up. We were consistent and never allowed her to get out of cleaning up. We also taught her to only spit in the toilet or trash can. If we were outside she could only spit in the grass. Be consistent and relentless. My student no longer spits on people or things and ONLY spits in the toilet or trash. You can email me directly at tjbenn2000@... if you like and I will give you my phone number.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi Yolanda, What I would do first: Make a log of what is happening right before the spitting and what is happening right after. That way, you will usually see a pattern. This is called taking ABC data (antecedent, behavior, consequence).We will have to find this out before we can make a decision on how to address the problem. For the "before": Do you give her something to do and then she spits? Or does she want something that she cannot have and then spits? Does she do it when you don't pay her any attention? Does she even do it when she is by herself? For the "right after": Does she get access to an item (toy, food, or whatever)? Does she get attention (even the type of attention that we typically think is not positive like reprimands). Does she no longer have to do something that you had told her to do? Take this log for a while and hopefully you will see a pattern. Let me know what you observe.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 At first I though it was because she gets excited, for example when she gets on the school bus its none stop When she does spit I tell her to stop spitting and that it is not nice.Subject: Re: (unknown)To: autism-georgia Date: Sunday, December 12, 2010, 4:14 PM When does she spit and why?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I have this pattern already in my head just not wrote. I noticed at first that she would spit when she got excited, but that has changed she will literally spit in a person's face and I cannot stand that. It hard for me to tell if its behavior or sensory. I would tap her hand for it and when she would see my hand coming towards her she would stop so that made me think that she knows what she is doing, but I disapprove of the spitting. I can say that there is one doctor that is working with me to find a solution to this problem.Subject: Re: (unknown)To: autism-georgia Date: Sunday, December 12, 2010, 5:31 PM Hi Yolanda, What I would do first: Make a log of what is happening right before the spitting and what is happening right after.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi Amber!  My daughter is 12 and has OCD. So often you only hear about hand washing and " bad " feelings. WEll this sounds like my daughter...its called " just right " OCD where it is a feeling and it has to feel just right. My 7 year old also has it and is starting treatment tomorrow for it.  My daughter got so bad that she had to start medication just to do the therapy...but I believe in my heart that the therapy is the " magic " the medication just lessened the anxiety enough to allow her to do it.  My daughter had to touch things evenly on both sides, like if she touched her right knee then she had to touch her left knee in just the same way....the therapy for that was touching one knee and not the other! Sounds easier than it is but it can be done.  I have to leave for work....everyone here is great and will offer more info.  ..mom to Sara 12 and 7 both " just right " ocd.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Carlton - good for you! I always find it fascinating to observe the changes in myself and my taste .. I, too really notice grease as well as salt in a lot of the commercial foods that I never noticed before but it's in large part due to how we've changed what we eat & prepare for ourselves. Also, how you felt this morning is a great reminder for the next time you eat out for breakfast (it causes me to think how I'll feel after as I'm reading the menu and not letting the descriptions or pictures sway me as how I feel after is the whole reason I'm eating! Great job!!  ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 10:15 AM Subject: (unknown)  Hi all. I have been busily listening to all the back podcasts of IOWL. I am up to number 134. Sure lots of good stuff in there. It is so encouraging and I am making progress. I had a trip this week out of town and I paid closer attention to what I ate. Breakfast this morning just isn't sitting well with me because the restaurant food was just greasier than what I like. Before I would have just not noticed or not thought about it.  Carlton Larsen Saskatoon Sk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Carlton,  I too have noticed that I am more sensitive to taste. I used to love Little Debbie snack cakes until I actually slowed down and tasted them. When I did, I realized that (to me) the chocolate actually tasted waxy and not really that good. Now if I want chocolate, which I do have on occassion, I choose the really good stuff. I find that I can really enjoy it and it takes a lot less to satisfy my want.  All the best,  Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Recently someone gave us a box of chocolates from one of those boutique places--handmade, gorgeous, fancy, yada yada yada.  I had one and kinda liked it.  The next day I had one in the morning and one in the evening (as planned). I threw out the evening one half eaten, because I didn't like it that much.  Next day, I had one that was also pretty disappointing.  Now, it's already a victory that we're a couple days in, and I'm not " rationing " the chocolates--that implies too much control. Rather, I was having them at a reasonable pace, to enjoy.  Except I wasn't. Finally I told dh (who doesn't like sweets) that I was throwing them out, because I had reached the stage where I was starting to want more just to see if I'd finally find one I actually liked. And I didn't even have to dump dish soap all over to make sure I didn't dig it them out of the trash! LOL!  Who knew there was actually such a thing as *bad* chocolate?? And that I didn't have to eat it just because it was a gift?? :-)  >To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > >Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 4:40 PM >Subject: Re: (unknown) > > > >Carlton, > >I too have noticed that I am more sensitive to taste. I used to love Little Debbie snack cakes until I actually slowed down and tasted them. When I did, I realized that (to me) the chocolate actually tasted waxy and not really that good. Now if I want chocolate, which I do have on occassion, I choose the really good stuff. I find that I can really enjoy it and it takes a lot less to satisfy my want. > >All the best, > >Beverly > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Karmalita NK also goes to his room to repeat his action, and i understand how distressing it is when your partner fails to believe there is something wrong. My husband is quite traditional too - but unless your husband sees her doing the ritual and spends time with her he wont understand. I dont know what was more scary what NK was doing or how my husband was reacting? NK was cutting his finger tips...I so feel for you as im going through the same thing. All the people in this forum are great and are all going through similar experiences. Stay strong your not alone. (unknown) Liz, I do understand how you feel...I am a mom of three and my eldest recently was diagnosed with OCD. It is quite difficult to deal with the mood swings from aggressive to depressed, the fact she looks herself in her room because she does not want her siblings or dad to know she is constantly repeating an action. Her dentist said her enamel is wearing away because of the number of times she brushes her teeth. My two younger children are trying to understand what is happening but they feel I am letting her rule the house. My husband is very traditional Indian and does not believe there is anything wrong with her. Despite my explanations of this is a genetic problem, he feels " there is no one in either of the two families who is crazy " I am at wits end trying to make him understand. She started with SSRI last Wednesday and yesterday I found her cutting her wrist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I wouldn't stay with a psychiatrist who thinks your daughter's sexual activities is " normal " , especially considering it is out of character for her. I would want to use a psychiatrist who treats the whole pictures, not just OCD symptoms. (unknown) Debbie, I am facing the same issues like you. My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with OCD a month ago. She was put on Sertraline. She also saw the our primary doctor and she is anemic and was put on iron pills. After starting her meds she was found cutting her writs(just scratches with a paper clip). I brought it to the psychiatrist attention and he did not seem to be bothered with it because it was just scratches. He nonetheless increased her med of 25mg for a week to start, the 50mg for two weeks. We saw him on Thursday and he increased her to 100mg. I told him my daughter has been acting out(she had sex for the first time in the back seat of a car with a guy she has only gone out with once, then last friday at the football game she drank alcohol, got drunk and made out with two other guys). The psychiatrist made me feel like an idiot when I brought these activities to his attention, his answer... " she is a teenager and they will behave like that. " My daughter has always been the one the think things through, she is shy and does not normally do things like these. On our drive home Thursday, she told me she feels as thought she is separated from her body, sort of seeing herself outside of her actual body. I asked her if she told the doctor that and she said no. She is also quite sleepy(more than normal) since the increase of her sertraline. I told her to take only 50mg rather than a 100mg to see if that is what is causing her behavior and sleepiness. We have an appointment to recheck her hemaglobin levels on Tuesday. Her thyroid was normal. I think the meds do affect these kids differently and I am frustrated that the medical professionals are seeing everyone through the same lens. Someone please educate me here...shouldn't the meds and therapy be adjusted to help the child perform to his or her best? Should I seek another psychiatrist because I find the one we were referred to unapproachable. He keeps telling me this will take time, I will not see any improvements for at least 3 to 6 months. But should he not adjust her medication if she is getting worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Karmalita, I'm not sure if you saw the email I sent a while back, but people who have underlying bipolar disorder (and OCD can be a part of it) can get manic behavior if they take SSRI anti-depressants like Sertraline if they are not also taking mood-stabilizing meds for the bipolar. The behaviors you describe definitely could be manic-type behaviors. YES you should consult another psychiatrist! The one you've got is unapproachable and made you feel like an idiot and isn't listening to you. You and your daughter deserve better! > Debbie, > I am facing the same issues like you.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hello, I agree. I don't think I could stay with a medical professional who I couldn't talk to. You have too much at stake and you need to have your concerns listened to. I know that it's hard to switch providers but in the long run, I think it's worth the effort. Best, Joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
