[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it sounds very much like she is masking at school and then unmasking at home. I agree with PP on the evaluation.[/quote]

Ugh masking is not a thing. Different setting are different and people behave differently. Conversely if it is an actual neurodevelopmental disorder it must be apparent in multiple settings. Not to get too much into the details about my kid but he is great 95% of the time and horrid 5% of the time and you could easily claim he is “masking.” But he definitely is not.

My guess is that you would see some of this rigidity at school if she was observed there. Instead of wasting $$$ on a “neuropsych”) which will include many tests you do NOT need, I would get a psychologist to observe her at school if the school will allow that. You can also tell the teachers and coaches what you are seeing at home and if they see anything similar at school or practice.

At the same time I would get competent behavioral therapy (this will be with the parents not the child) so you can address behaviors at home. She should not be allowed to hit, period end of story. Find a therapist trained in PCIT and SPACE.

The hygeine stuff is pretty normal for a tween.
