well at night its been hard to get her to sleep , she always seems so hyper and then when she does go to bed she is always waking up . I cant even leave to room for anything or she knows . she could be completly out but still knows when i get up . and when i say behaviorial problems well she wakes up and she hits herself and she does it other times as well when she wants something . she used to pull her hair but that stopped and now she hits herself. she throws tempers all the time and also will hit me and laugh . im not sure if this is part of the syndrome or her just used to getting what she wants by screaming . I try to let her scream and not give in but i live with my parents so its not a easy thing to do here because they dont wanna put up with it sadly to say . I am currently trying to get her a phych eval but the doctor is booked for months so im just waiting . Also does your son talk ?
: Hi Stacy,
: I have a son who is 14 and I have
: often thought that he has autistic
: behaviours. Interestingly enough,
: we have a psychologist who has
: visited our son and he has advised
: that a lot of his symptoms are very
: similar to Aspeger's as well.
: Our son, Alex has had sleep issues
: and currently has behavioural
: issues. I am not sure if you are
: asking something specific about
: sleep and behavioural issues, but my
: understanding is that it is quite
: common.
: Regards,
: Dawn

: hi I have a 5 year old daughter
: which
: has digeorge syndrome . Im not sure
: if she has partial or complete . I
: didnt know there was a difference
: but reading this tells me theres so
: much more i dont know . well she was
: born and had to have emergency heart
: surgery and i didnt even know she
: had dgeorge til a week or so later
: after testing due to her having long
: fingers and the heart complication .
: since then she has had speech ot
: and pt therapys and she still does
: not talk . I read a article where
: one little girl didnt talk and then
: around 5 she just started talking
: with therapy . however i am having
: the hardest time getting my daughter
: to talk and Im not sure if because
: she cant talk she screams all the
: time and its unbearable at times .
: the doctors say its cus she is
: frustrated since she cant talk and
: then her therapists tell me that she
: is not connecting the words from her
: brain to her mouth . Alot of people
: ask me if she has autism also . And
: to be honest i dont know all the
: symptoms of digeorge and if the way
: she acts is from that or could be
: autism . Does anyone have more
: information on behaviorial problems
: or sleep problems due to the syndrom
: or any information would be great .
: thanks
