Is K still in the picture?
It is hard to think that D resorts to such terms when she's feeling overwhelmed by something outside anyone's control.

Thanks, Lost. Yes, we saw K last week, and she had some helpful resources from a colleague who works with autistic kids at a local Children's Hospital. We just need to start putting some of them in place. H actually said later that it was "helpful" (he had "cooled on her" after the previous meeting).
I agree that it's due to her being overwhelmed--same with the hitting/kicking and property destruction at school, though she did better last week (she's home today for yet another snow day).
We also have a new medication we're trying her on to see if that helps.
And we have a meeting with the school with an outside occupational therapist at the end of the month to see if any of those services could be helpful her to. That was something K suggested, that she could need more support for sensory issues at school and at home--both sensory seeking, like movement, and avoidance, with sound, though she does wear headphones at school sometimes.
