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.

LT, I’m sorry to hear things have gotten so complicated with D.
What does the future hold for her? What does she want to do with her life? Are you thinking past high school?
