[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds very much like my kid, now 14, who was diagnosed first with ADHD (more the distracted than the hyperactive kind) and later with low level autism. My daughter's emotions manifested not externally through hitting or acting out in anger as a boy's might have, but more internally via blaming herself and crying when a task would become too stressful. Diagnosis, some medications, and an IEP really helped a lot.[/quote] OP here. This is totally her. Her self doubt is high and she has horribly negative self talk too. Breaks down when tasks are too hard. It was harder to see when she was younger, because you could just write it off as a "tantrum". But now, I can see it's not that. She even said to me that she hates when she gets worked up over simple things because it's embarrassing and she worries people think she's a brat, but I can tell now that it's totally out of her control.
