My DD is almost 13 and I'm worried as she doesnt seem to display the same behaviours as other children. Some of the things she does is:
-Randomly start jumping about (flapping her arms and shaking her head) without warning.
-Jerks her head and shoulders at random times.
-Is sometimes very social at some times and very withdrawn at other times.
-Gets angry when she doesn't win at her computer games instead of just carrying on.
-Pulls her hair out (this doesn't happen often and she doesnt pull a lot out).
-Fidgety.
-Has no concept of danger and doesn't think about the consequences of her actions.
I think I should also add that she is very clever and doesn't particularly struggle academically, although she lacks motivation and doesn't commit to anything.
Is it possible that she might have a mental disorder?
