[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you again for all the wonderful resources.  I will look into the books and a 504 plan.  PP at 19:09, I worry that some of the behaviors could escalate like that with the issues of "living in the moment," etc.

I came home from work yesterday and it was like I had a different child.  I've felt like I was living with Tigger this past week and she is speaking normally again, interacting with parents and sister appropriately, gave me a nice normal hug, acted with normal regard for people's physical space and boundaries.  I don't know how to explain it but her eyes seem calmer -- they were wide and almost wild.  Like I said, if I didn't know any better I would think she was on drugs.  The normalcy of her behavior yesterday and just how completely pleasant she was to be around (normal grumbly teen) really underscored how bizarre her behavior was these few days.  My husband said, and I agree, that he thought she was trying to control the more euphoric affect that she had.  But I'm not sure how much of it she is able to control or even recognized was "off" in the moment -- I know she thought we were mean when we tried to tell her to calm down.

We are starting through our health insurance (Kaiser) but I am assuming we will be going through multiple visits.  There have been so many resources and suggestions made and I can't say how grateful I am.  I am feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment.  [/quote]
