Daughter out of control-updated
Hey all i've updated this question as got some response but didnt have full details in message, more info. Please help.
Diagnosis daughter has:
*Add, odd, sleep apneia, severe learning and speech delays
*takes ritalin-prescribed by sleep doctor/peaditrician Bexleiy of the past few days has been having epispodes of agreesive and
non-responsive behavior and becomes uncontrollable and blank and
foccussed on her disobedience. She become super strengthed unable
to be held and very loud and agressive hitting and pinching struggling
against any form or attempt at calming her. When opposed or put into
her room begins banging on doors and damaging objects, messing her room
and possessions up and acting in defient ways. She also goes into repition
of loud noises and words ignoring anyone asking her to clam down or
be more quiet and becomes louder when requested to quiten down.
This can be triggered by something as simple as being told for the
third of fouth time - Bexleiy please go and have a bath! When told
more directly and sternly she triggers into an episode of the above
behavior and any attempt to tell her is responded with agressive
behavior, glazed eyes and blank stares. Her pupils dialate (become
enlargered) and her strength is more than a single adult can manage.
Environmental changes - school, close school friends acting around
her in hyperactive ways (very excited and wont listen to requests),
feral (out of control), her closest friend has been stealing and lying and
whinges at lot complaining (dobbing) other kids in for things they
have not done. Bexleiy is the centre stage for focus in her class everyone
wants to be her firend. She is social and plays with a central 5 - 6 person
group of boys and girls.
She is doing very well in her class academically. She has on a few occasions
been diciplined a school for reported pinching in the play group, being
disobedient to a teacher who at the end of recess requested they come
into class and 3 - 4 children hid from the teacher and it took 10 minutes
to get them into class. This resulted in being sent to the office - the
other children said it was Bexleiy who said to run and hide from the
teacher (unconfirmed - Bexleiy says different).
We feel that something may have happened at school, or a childs
house or she may have been bullied but Bexleiy when asked what
is wrong, or has anything happened at school, starts looking away
from eye contact and either distracting behavior (diversion of topic),
or gets emotional and angry, or cries but still does not say what is
going on. Bexleiy has become very obsessed with her closest friend
(Ashley) and won't seperate from her at school or in class, and Ashely
is also the same back to her. She often rejects other friends because
of her desire to be with Ashley and ignore them or walk away. Ashley we
feel is not the best influence on Bexleiy as she behaviorally is very
hyperactive and at times naughty and disobedient. It is however very
difficult to seperate them from playing together and we feel not right
to say things such as "we don't want you playing with Ashley".
She also becomes very softly spoken in class and lacks vocal and ability
confidence and the teacher finds it difficult to hear what she is saying
at times. Always seeking attention from teacher for acadmic approval.
She gets huffy if the teacher gives academic attention to other kids and
dismisses her need for approval from the teacher. She often seeks the
teachers assistance on things she does not want to do on her own. When
the teacher is unable to give this assistance rather than attempt it she
will just go sit down and not do the activity - this may be to aviod failure or
doing it wrong or be seen by others doing it wrong.
Bexleiy was very anxious starting school on the first few weeks, and at
times still display anxiety of separation when mum leaves after drop off.
