My daughter is almost 8. We adopted her when she was 4 but she lived with us since she was 2. She has always seemed emotionally like a 2 yr old & has never seemed to grow up in that aspect. Academically she is where she should be.
There are times when she does seem to space out & look right through you when you are talking to her or she will ask you a question & look right at you but not hear the answer. She still cuts her hair if she finds scissors & cannot be trusted with crayons or other art supplies in her room because she will write on walls or tear up paper into little pieces all over the floor. Things seem to be worse when she has had sugar. She also breaks down crying if asked a simple task. You can tell her to go to the bathroom before we go somewhere & she will go in her bedroom & change her clothes???
Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of thing? I am at my wits end. The doctor just says, “Don’t give her sugar.” They wont even do testing!
