I don't understand this. Shouldn't the behavior be constant?
Have you been able to coax good days out of her by changing the environment, food, your behavior, etc? Can you predict the bad days? Is there a pattern?
Spoken like a programmer. Adults aren't even consistent. Ever seen a woman going completely apeshit at a male for some reason (sometime justified, sometimes not)?
Biological organisms have significant variations. Sometimes you get an angel; sometimes you get a devil; sometimes both.
In the past, resources were sufficiently scarce that children (and adults) who weren't capable of fitting into society were killed or allowed to die.
Why would you use that example?
I have easily seen a dozen or more incidents of women doing this in public. I have only ever once seen a man do this.
I suspect the imbalance is because men prone to this behavior resort to violence privately. Strangers will step in to help a woman but not a man.
Believe me that I'm tickled by my daughters extreme interests - but we DO want to cure her of her disruptive and dangerous behaviors.
We have called the sheriffs office during one of our daughters most extreme tantrums - they couldn't have been nicer or more understanding and helped us out considerably during their visit. I suspect our county sheriff (Santa Cruz, ca) has had extra training in that regard.
On the other hand, we have also had to deal with child protective services, called because of bruises noticed by the school. We got the third degree, but since we've also had to do a lot of video recording of her tantrums, it was pretty easy to establish that - aside from our having to restrain her, her bruises were self inflicted.
On her good days, she's a joy and a wonder. On her bad days, she's a beast from the nether pits of hell. But we will stick by her.
