Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I found this staging of HE (attached) to be very informative when my son was going through the same symptoms as your daughter.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 That is very helpful - thank you! She appears to fall between 1 and 2. She has sleep inversion, impaired thinking (although it is speech based reasoning, rather than computational), and was certainly garrulous the night I sat up with her to try to help her finish her paper. She loses track of time - but she always has. Don't know that it is any worse. , Mom to 18 yo daughter UC 6/95, PSC 3/09From: Joanne Grieme To: Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 6:15:37 PMSubject: RE: "House" - slight topic change I found this staging of HE (attached) to be very informative when my son was going through the same symptoms as your daughter.
