Brief Answer:
Please get her thyroid checked.

Detailed Answer:
Good day
Noted your concern. Some of the symptoms what she has, may indicate a thyroid problem. Please get a thyroid blood profile, Vitamin B12 and CBC done. This may help us further to determine the cause of her problems. Was she ever seen by a pediatric psychologist ?
