[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Someone mentioned Asperger's. I took a quick look at the symptoms and I think that could be a possibility. I need to take a much closer look at that. [/quote] If she has been OK with making groups of friends but then just gets weird after that, I think it's unlikely that she has Asperger's. It's not a catch-all for socially idiosyncratic behavior - it is an almost complete inability to naturally process social and emotional cues. Think Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory. The fact that your daughter understands what her behavior is doing is very telling that she has some social understanding, but she's letting her emotions and jealousy get the best of her.[/quote]
