I am really impressed with how quickly you are grasping and integrating all the new information. The problem with these high functioning kids is that they can hide their issues so well. Until, of course, they can't. At some point life catches up to them. There is no point in looking backwards, and ...

Her Verbal IQ is 99% while her non-verbal is 50%. I have done extensive research on this in the last week and I am fairly certain that she is on the spectrum. But I am not qualified to make that determination. While you are looking up information, you may want to look up Nonverbal Learning Disabili...

She probably is so stressed about the socialising side and knowing she is different. High school is often w...

I am assuming she has been in therapy because of the cutting, and then they diagnosed her as PDD-NOS in the course of treating her for that, is that right? She has been...
