    Are you already in contact with the local Children's department in social services? It sounds as though you will struggle to manage to keep things going with so many problems.

    It is possible or even likely that your daughter with the personality disorder actually has autism. Has that possibility been considered? Personality disorders are often mistakenly diagnosed when the underlying problem is autism.

    Autism is often an inherited condition so it seems highly likely that you or your partner are on the spectrum too since more than one of your children has a diagnosis of autism. Has that subject been mentioned to you by anyone?
