Are you around a child who..?
feels like a mystery
does things out of nowhere
is getting a reputation for being naughty or badly behaved
does things and then seems not to remember them
has big emotional outbursts
gets on OK with adults or younger children, but struggles with peers?
goes quiet, withdrawn, even unresponsive
you don't know what else to try
