Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hi I am new here my name is Crystal. I have a daughter Lexi she is 6 and was recently diagnosed with OCD and anxiety issues. Lexi has sensory issues as well. She hates lunch because it is to loud. Recently she was losing a tooth this caused extreme fear and trama for 48 hours. She became so obsessed with it being lose that she was wiggling it in her sleep. she would wake me crying in the middle of the night. Some mornings it takes us 20 minutes to find a pair of socks that are acceptable. Lexi also does not seem to understand " social " cues. When something is not right she has melt downs this is translated to other people as a lack of dicipline. Lexi does not seem to have issues with her grades she is getting all A's in school. She does hate school and stresses about going daily. I am finding the hardest part is that Lexi on the outside does not seem to have any issues to most people. Lexi is very good at hiding her fears in front of others. She comes across as a little shy and sometimes " bratty " when she has a melt down. I have noticed that consistency is the best. she needs to follow set routines or meltdown occurs. Most people feel i am just giving her her way. I am exhuasted with the emotional roller coaster that I go on daily with her. I have had to cut my hours down at work to 5-10 hours due to trying to keep things in her routine. I get tired of either explaining or defending my actions and Lexi's issues with others. Every day I am on pin's and needles wondering what has set her off during the day. I find that the school is willing to work with somewhat but feel that they don't seem to fully understand what Lexi goes thru. Does anyone else struggle with this?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hi Crystal, Your daughter sound much like mine. Very intelligent and can appear very normal so the problems get overlooked, with sensory problems that make school very difficult. My daughter also has aspergers traits and your description sounds like that for your daughter also. We finally have an IEP for my daughter and that is helping tremendously. I would get an evaluation through a good neuropsychologist and have the school develop an IEP for her. Because my daughter did so well in school, her other issues were not recognized for a very long time. But now that they have acknowledged that she has issues, they seem willing to accommodate her.
