[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little surprised at the responses here.  It seems everyone, including you OP, is trying to find some diagnosis.  She is fine usually but has random outbursts, so what?  you are freaking out because she gets up at 6:45 and can't get out of the shower by  7:10??  i'm sorry but that is an aggressive schedule.  No way wants to wake up and be go go go from the minute they open their eyes.  Some people might be ok with this but many are not and clearly your daughter has the kind of temperament where she needs to transition and take her time to wake up.  Stop labeling her based on that frustration.  Wake her up earlier, go to bed earlier, and/or shower at night.  Your schedule is the problem. [/quote]

NP and I also agree with this. And three years of therapy beginning at age 6 with no apparent progress sounds like a terrible therapist. I would stop this therapist and find someone else, in person.

I also have a kid who gets very frustrated and anxious about her hair (and has been in therapy for anxiety). We actually took her for an appt with the hair stylist for what we called “hair therapy.” The stylist also listened to her concerns, shared what was easily tamed and what wasn't, and recommended some products. It was awesome and transformative for her, to feel someone who knew something about this was taking her seriously and offering advice.

You could certainly get a neuropsych if you like but I agree what you’re describing isn’t out of the ordinary. But three years of continuous therapy at this age is a lot, so maybe there’s more going on. [/quote]
