my daughter started this journey or at least we recognized it about the time she was 7 alot of her issues came out very boldy, alot of tantrums and things we have since gotten alot of help, she gets 12 hours of counseling a week, and she is on medication.
She still gets confused easily and when she does she has tantrums and acts out, my question someone told me their sister had it and she got better with age, now i know she still had th e illness but better as far as not as many tantrums and understanding, is this an age thing or does it have to do with more patience and understanding, she has little patience and that causes alot of her actions

Therpy helps to learn how to control it, especially like occupational to adjust to the world and the assults it throws at me. So I would highly recommend that as much as possible. Also, I was put in physical therpy, although for another issue it did help me as well. I would look into that as well.
Try and get her on SSI if possible just in case. I know it sounds harsh but if things don't approve, it gets really hard when your over 18 to get SSI if you need it. Plus, if she can go to college and wants to and has that, iti will make it easier if she has the option not to work.
Just thoughts.
