[quote=Anonymous] No, first she needs a complete physical and psychiatric check-up, OP. It's likely she has a severe case of PMS, but it can be compounded by ADHD or ASD, or other mental health issues - but first, it's standard medical practice to do a physical exam, just in case there's anything going on that can be easily fixed - anemia, thyroid disorders, etc. If everything is fine on that front, you do a full neuropsychological examination. Now, if you've done that already, you should have mentioned it, because it's very important. You cannot suddenly decide you're done raising a kid with issues and want to ditch them, without having done the bare minimum of medical/psychiatric care! I feel I spend my time on DCUM telling parents not to abandon their kids, when it appears they're suffering from poorly managed mental health issues, and the parent is totally clueless and just wants to abandon them to their fate. Just responded to a similar post about a 19 year old whose parents wants to push out of their home. And then downthread, they mention she has ADHD. It's awful the way some parents just don't have a clue about mental health. [/quote]
