[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- for those suggesting ASD - after a friend filled weekend, she just cried and just told me  that she really has no friends. She says she just has people who tell her she is rude and inappropriate. She said her best friend is always trying to get her in trouble by telling her to stop. I’m sorry - I know this is too much personal stuff. We did a social skills group the summer before last - useless. We’ve been working with social workers for parenting help on and off since she was 2.5. Maybe it is ASD. I have always thought that my dad has straight up Asperger’s. I hate that she has such trouble with social limits. It really feels like a major parenting failing. She gets some of them and she is very sensitive about rules that are clear to her. This is a second kid- her older sister handles things so differently.[/quote]

An evaluation will tell you more, but this seems completely within the realm of ADHD, unless she doesn’t understand the rules. The too silly, don’t know when to stop-that’s impulsivity (i.e. she knows what to do/not do when talking about it but has a hard time acting on it during a situation). If it is ADHD impulsivity, meds can help with this. [/quote]
