Is it possible that she's rebelling because she - in her mind - got ripped away from friends? Maybe she's also overwhelmed?

I would say you definitely have the trigger point in mind then. Who knows what else is going on in the new school that you as a parent don't get to know easily?

I can only think how I'd go over it with my daughter, so this might not work for you. I would leave the matter of the meds to the side for any discussion for a little bit. Figure out the rest of her circumstances first, then reintroduce the meds once she feels understood again. This can also be very soon. Just don't make the talks about the meds for now. Again, I don't have experience with PDA but if you push too much too often it can be counterproductive even before factoring that in.

You will most likely have to get a new prescription for the strattera as well, as going from zero back to full will be problematic. It needs ramping up time with the dosage. Otherwise there will be side effects that might lead to setbacks. That's personal experience.

I can't really say anything about the autism, I myself am on strattera for ADHD.

For those meds I can say they have the side effect of making me drowsy/buzzy sometimes. A few hours after taking them. Maybe she has something like that and doesn't associate it enough to talk about it, but somewhere still feels like she needs to refuse meds because something is going on?

From a parental view, my daughter had it recently that she suddenly changed her behaviour because of random words from peers in kindergarten. Managed to explain it to her on my end, but it was still tough with a non-autistic but strong headed girl. I don't know your daughter's circumstances, etc, but such a sudden change can also come from external sources you aren't privy to. Maybe she opened up to a kid that then had a strong anti-med stance from its own upbringing? Maybe she was told somewhere that her parents are trying to make her be someone she isn't - even if it's not true. Maybe she's doing it to fit in with that kid/group? Just possibilities.

I'm not saying it has to be something like that, it could also be something completely random. It's just another two items on the list of things to possibly ask about.

There's a "hub" mode where your endpoint inside the network grants access to the whole network like a standard VPN server.

Incompetent seems pretty spot on since it can't even burn the trash.

HIPAA covers the spreading of medical information by anyone who's not the patient themselves.

I don't think you're wrong. Yet OP mentioned the 6700xt, which I believe is slower than the 3070...

Kinda why I recommend looking at the gamers nexus articles, because that should give them a good idea of what the current AAA performance of the cards is and would allow some extrapolation based on what they think is relevant to them.

Unless OP goes for flagship GPUs, there's going to be AAA titles in 2-3 years that won't run at 60fps 1080p Ultra settings. Especially if they want it to be all big budget games.

What does long term mean to you? Because that is a whole problem of its own.

Generally, bang for buck, the x3d AMD processors are going to provide likely long term high gaming performance. On that end, if you're really looking long term, you'll likely want to go with a 7xxx chip and ddr5.

A good SSD, pcie4, should be in there for also your game storage. Don't grab the cheapest SSD possible. It makes a huge difference. Motherboard, PSU, cooling will follow your other parts.

Graphics cards are going to be really the budget smasher. I'm personally finding my rtx3070 still plenty good, but again, what you consider long term and which AAA games are on your radar vastly influences your options.

take the time to review the recent round ups by gamer's nexus. Go to their website, as it has the graphs and everything and you don't have to sit through long videos to grab the info.

I'm not on the US market, so I definitely won't give it a parts list, but pcpartpicker is apparently pretty good for this from what I heard. Even just to get guidance and then grab stuff somewhere else for possibly cheaper.

A VPN is only as much of a security improvement as the service behind it. If it gets installed in a shady way, how much trust can you put into the service?

Not that unusual depending on the software. A lot of them honour the TTL literally.

One enterprise software I know that does it is VMware vcenter. I'm sure there's plenty of consumer software that retries excessively.

If a lot of it is chrome you might've identified the issue that's actually plaguing you already.

Why not switch to Firefox+ublock... and... you complain about sign in requests when using incognito? Yeah, well, that won't be different anywhere.

You sound more troll than 30 toolbars in IE4.
