Have you considered that there may be a trauma she is not telling you about.  It could be bullying at school or worse.  Sorry for the worry, but any change in behaviour should be looked into further, and so I would get some professional advice.

i would take her to see a doc and peadiatrtion. my 6 year old is autistic and we noticed about 18months of age.

I am ADHD my hubby is ADD and i found out on monday these are in the autism spectrum and are classed as behavioural where my son is language and social skills and motor skills. (this is what my doc told me anyway, i havent been diagnosed by a peadeatrtion but my hubby has, i am also Bipolar) I was told at my high school by our guidance councilor that i was ADHD in year 9, and was also told that these things can get worse in pubity or they can normalise themself. with my hubby and i it didnt.

so go see ur doc and get a referal to a peadiatrition and see what they say. It might be that she is hitting pubity and going through the "miss moody" as i call it. but in my opinion it is better to be safe than regret taking them later.

Oh and look up the info on google about the medication before giving to her. they can have some scary side effects

good luck

hi i think your best bet is to go see a pediotrition (please excuse the spelling). as i had lots of ppl tell me my son was autistic and a few didnt but he turned out to be. thats the only way that u will know otherwise you will be wondering and wondering. good luck with it all. 

If you worried, then I'd take her to be assessed. Aspergers is in the range as you might know. This is sometimes not diagnosed until they are around your daughters age. If nothing concrete is diagnosed, counselling may then be an option if you are still worried about her behavior.

My son also has slight autism traits, he has been diagnosed with ADHD but every so often I see something that makes me question if there is autism in there.

Have you taken her to a doctors for a general check up so you can go through what you have noticed and see what the doctor has to say
