Hi! I don't really know what the issues are and what could help, but I have over 36 different catergories on my website, http://chat1autism.wetpaint.com/

so, I thought, maybe it would help somehow.

Luv,
Kris

Although it's not specifically her issue, the "classic" book by the couple on *The Bipolar Child* may be helpful. Their name is long, like Panpompoulos, or something.

It addresses mood swings in Bipolar kids. You may want to just check it out of the library & see if it has anything to offer.

I know it has a visual device to illustrate to the child how she is coming across, which may be helpful for a girl her age. You don't want to come across as nagging...the age is hard enough for both of you already!!

The Bipolar Child is excellent. It is written by Janice and Demetri Papolos. It is in it's 3rd edition. They also have a DVD "24 Hours In The Life" which is very good. Have her mood swings been addressed? That sounds more like bipolar than aspergers. My daughter has both. Talk to her physician about that for their opinion.
