[quote=Anonymous]DD is almost 7 and has a bit of a murky dx. Technically ADHD inattentive type + language processing disorder but also low-tone, some stimming and dyspraxia. (Dev ped and neuro have both said she doesn't meet criteria for ASD, but very similar profile to HFA).

We also have a two year old who is increasingly a presence in the house. Older DD really struggles with rigidity vis a vis her little sister. For example DD7 wants to clean up the train set because she is done playing, but DD2 is not done and wants to keep playing. Our 7 year old will have a major meltdown in an instance like this because she feels so compelled to clean-up it's almost painful to her not to be able to do it. Chaos ensues. We move the train set to where she cannot see it. We let her clean it up as soon as DD2 is in bed etc. But we do not  just let he put it away since DD2 is still engaged with it.

This is just one example of a typical problem. How do you teach frustration tolerance when it feels like an urge that DD7 is not even entirely in control of...?[/quote]
