My daughter who just turn 11, who has ADHD and Celiac disease long with a growth hormone issues and been showing very agressive behavior towards her brothers and struggling at school getting along with other kids. The kids at school call her names and she never goes outside at recess time. The teacher allows her to stay in. When she gets home from school she is yelling and screaming about things, it takes 30 minutes to calm her down even if I am helping another child her screaming becomes unbearable. Even when she is at church she struggles to get along with the other girls as they will not sit by her. She comes home from church very tense and once again need to stop what I am doing and calm her down but then she is wired the rest of the day. She has not hit purberty; (spelling wrong) or anywhere close. Wondering if I need to adjusts her meds or there is something I am missing.
