thank you for your thoughts... you nailed the birth parents' diagnoses almost right on the head, though I'm pretty sure the one is adult RAD probably primarily.
I have done the bipolar reading on her brother, have the book, and am on some of the lists. It is definitely something I am watching for, but I don't quite think it fits yet. The OCD seems to be right, it is lots of autistic type obsessions with textures & routines & my sense on the nooses, etc, is that it is more sensory stim than anything. Actually, I made her a lycra cap which she now wears to bed & has moved on to other things.
I will keep in mind to keep watching for bipolar interventions & meds. The docs at this point think she is leaning more schizzy.
Thank you, I will check the websites that are new to me.
