[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long has this been going on? be honest. For sure she's been like this at home and now she's taken the show on the road.[/quote]
Teen years. She’s bratty sometimes at home, and has outbursts.[/quote]

This might not apply, but want to throw it out there. Emotional dysregulation can be a central symptom in autistic children. I have two autistic kids that do not have emotional outbursts, but I know lots of ASD families for which this is a problem. I would get this child a neuropsych evaluation, to see if there are any diagnoses that are impeding her development (ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, etc). And then go from there. I say this because most people naturally converge on divorce as the root of all children's problems, and sometimes it is! But not always...

Oh FFS stop diagnosing everyone on the internet with the autism. It's incredibly rare and should not be considered a go-to explanation for behavior in a troubled teen. What OP describes sounds like a very normal kid who is understandably having trouble regulating extreme emotions due to hormones compounded by externalities like her family situation being upended. Saying, "oh it might be autism" is so unbelievably insensitive and rude. [/quote]
