Depending on what you mean by bothering people it could be one of two main things. If she is butting into other peoples conversations or activities, it may be a control type issue. She may feel that she needs to dominate a situation and have a say so in what is being done or said. If it is more of a pestering thing like acting inappropriately or saying things that are odd, it may very well be an attention issue. You have to address it like you would with a child. Most of the time if you have tried being nice or general about things and it doesn't work, you will have to be more harsh about it. If you have a video camera set it up to where you can record her behavior in a sort of playful way and then watch it together so she can see herself acting this way. Many times that is an attention getter for people who don't realize that there is an issue.
