My daughter (15) is adopted. Her birthmother used cocaine the last trimester of the pregnancy. We have seen many strange behavior patterns through the years and are wondering if 1) related to the cocaine and 2) if it is aspergers syndrome. The symptoms are many: poor sleeping habits, born screaming in a high pitch that could send anyone over the edge, seemed to have real pain when hungry, very sensitive to noise (a dog device that emits a high pitch that humans are not supposed hear bothered her ears), high anxiety all the time, socially inept with a tendency to misunderstand or misinterpret speech, very obsessed with self (more so than a normal teenager), developed speech late, could not handle change (we moved a lot because of our work and she would go into tantrums), extremely high pain threshold, always watches tv looking out the corners of her eyes, very introverted and sensitive, lots of phobias, tends to give high probability to something bad happening (in this regard tends to not see the difference between the probability of something happening and the possibility), doesn't like to be touched (wouldn't hug me, dad, until she was 6), lack of empathy (would show no signs of emotion when others were crying or hurt), socially inept, obsessed with food when younger. There is more, but that is good for starters. We had her tested by a psychologist who basically found the things we already knew about but gave no definitive diagnosis. Some friends suggested she might have asperbers. We have never told her anything is wrong, but she is discovering for herself that she is not like other kids. Don't know if it would worth it to tell her something is wrong. Any suggestions out there?
