Re: daughter keeps packing up house

[Guest guest]

Is she verbal? What is she doing with all her packed things? Can someone

do a functional behavior assessment to try to see why she's doing it? If

it's hoarding, it's like an OCD behavior, isn't it? Sorry with the

questions, just trying to brainstorm. I think you'd have to try to get to

the bottom of WHY she feels she has to do this; sounds like a compulsive

behavior.

Well she is not completely verbal. She does has some verbal skills.

She has said New house once and swimming on another ocassion. She

also mentioned a housing tract that we passed by last year on the way

to her previous school. It's called Villages of Avalon. They have a

water feature on the entrance to this housing tract. She also

recently drew a picture that looks like a house we lived in over 6

yrs ago, which is in this same town but a few miles from this area.

She must of been about 5 yrs old. She had know language at that time

and very spacey. She was a lot worse off. It's so puzzling to me. We

tell her this is our house and we will stay living here for now. This

has not calmed her obsession with packing. Do you think she could

remember that little house we lived in? How intresting is that.

Oh and this place she went to school last year was only for a year

and is about 30 minutes from where we live now and we have lived her

for nearly 6 years.

YES! We have gone through this and still do from time to time. Usually it is

just toys and her stuff, but I wait until she has left for school, but summers

it was hard and I'd just hide it in the locked laundry room until I had time to

sort. However, there were times she would ask for certain things within the bag

and I'd have to help her find it. So I got to where I would put it in a dark

trash bag. Fortunately she would forget most stuff, which is how I was able to

clean out her stuff. Crazy thing is my mother is in a home with alzheimers and

hoards. So bizarre the similarities in the two dx's.

It does certainly get serious when a remote ends up in the bags.

You are on the right path with the redirecting and not letting her hoard certain

things, however if she hoards her own things, I'd let it go unless it gets too

out of hand. Our dd often gets upset when I would try to redirect as she did

when someone would accidentally knock over her " lined up " items as a smaller

child. She also often chatters her way through it. Certainly times when she

gets into her own world.

Subject: daughter keeps packing up house

Hi has anyone experienced their daughter packing up the house? My 11yr.

old keeps packing up the house and it's exhausting putting everything

away. She will pour everything into bags from crayons to folded

clothing. She will put mail, art supplies and picturs together. Just

everything around the house. She was packing up the vehicles. She gets

quit upset when we stop her or tell her no packing. Someone from her

program mentioned its like a hoarding behavior. We are trying to

redirect her to do more positive things but I'm just not sure it's

working. I did go through her room and got rid of a lot of things so

their is not so much for her to mix up. Now she is taking the remotes

and things like this. Does anyone have any advice?

Something could have triggered the memory. Perhaps a cartoon or maybe a

classmate at school is moving? Our dd has never lived anywhere else. Just

something she does when she is having a regression or stressed. Come to think

of it she is 8.5 and hasn't done it since last school year sometime.

Hi Regina, Your daughter sounds a lot like mine. My Kiddo will pack

things into anything she can find. She seems to be very calm after

she gets her fix. I also clean up after she goes to school. It's just

such a pain. I got rid of a lot of little things from her room

thinking this would make things a little easier. Hopefully it will

pass. She has done this before and it stopped but it did not stop for

very long.

Hi Theresa,

PANDAS is an acronym for Pediatric Neuropsychiatic Disorder Associated

with Streptococcus.

Essentially what that means is that when the immune system is

mobilized to attack a strep infection, an autoimmune attack is

simultaneously initiated, which attacks certain parts of the brain.

This results in an array of neurological, behavioral and emotional

problems such as OCD, various tics and Tourette's Syndrome, ADHD, etc.

The big problem is that the brain can be continually damaged by

repeated attacks by streptococcus antibodies, and after each attack

the recovery of damaged brain tissues gets more and more difficult.

Just curious about the PANDAS... what is this? I'm assuming it's not the

Black and white bear from China, lol.
