You might have seen my previous question, well if not:
My sister (17) has written sentences all over the walls of her room, in a symbol language she has made up herself. the sizes range from 10cm per character to 0.5 cm.
Well now there are eyes all over the wall, well the same eye, just one style, sometimes a pair of eyes (of different sizes though, but undoubtably a pair) but mostly just singular eyes.
also, new sentences keep appearing. she doesnt really seem disturbed, just has weird characteristics. what should i do?

This is odd behaviour. Have you asked her why she is writing on the walls like that. Do the symbols mean anything to her?
Is she trying to communicate with someone? I would encourage her to visit her GP, go with her if you can.

The symbol of the eye has long been used as a sign that is believed to ward off evil. Your sister MAY be unwell, and be doing this in a delusional state that (quite logically in one sense) this will protect her from whatever torment she is going through.
it would be worth getting her to talk through thiese issues with a qualified professional (dr or counsellor)
In the meantime, it's OK to tell her that the behaviour frightens you, ask does she have a reason to do this? Ask does it make her feel safe? Do not make it seem like you are angry about the artwork, but do tell her that it would be more acceptable to put it in a book or something. She may feel absolutely COMPELLED to do it, and not really be in control though, so seeking help is the best option

I have a foster daughter who has Asbergers. Her symptoms vary from mild to wild, many times depending on the degree of stress she feels. She presents to the world as wonderfully charming, outgoing and talented young girl. At home when allowed to be alone, she talks and laughs hysterically with "no one", she writes morose poetry, and destroys inanimate objects for no appearant reason. She was stemming, but we put her into track so that she could run in circles for a purpose- and she has won award after award. My point is that your sis may be showing signs of reaching a stress level she can no longer endure and needs to get help. Before you take her anywhere take photos of the walls for the medical personnel so that they can see first hand; and also journal any additional behaviours you note so they can watch for patterns. Hope this helps.

I think she may need a creative outlet. Monet would paint on the walls before he canvased his paintings. I don't think she is trying to communicate as some have suggested. She would have talked about her manifestation as if the being she is communicating with is real. If she is just drawing and pretty indifferent about it buy her some art supplies and let her go nuts.

.. If you have parents that haven't done something about this yet.. that's pretty messed up.
I really think it would be to her benefit to talk to someone about her secret code and 'artistic expressions'. Did you ever ask her about it directly? That might help to bring some light to the situation. Also, I looked at the best answer for your last question, did you continue looking into that asberger's thing?

I think it is most important to ask her what she is writing. You can better know how her mental state is by knowing what she is feeling. You said she seems alright otherwise, just a different character. Is she highly creative? I have highly creative friends, they all are weird, but they all are harmless to themselves and others.
Talk to a doctor or mental health professional if you find she is in a negative place.

it might help you to understand your sister more if you ask her why she is doing this. not just coming out and saying that is strange behaviour, but telling her you are interested in what she is doing. your sister might be trying to communicate something to the people around her. if you're still worried after you have talked to her, speak to a doctor and ask what you can do next. or it could all be quite innocent and she is trying to express herself in her own artistic ways. good luck.

You need to go to nearest a and e dept to get her evaluated, be care-full she may think you are trying to harm her, sounds like shes gone over the edge the quicker you get her seen to the better.

she's just trying to express herself. let her talk. she has a problem. emotional. no need of psychiatrists. just a heart to heart. she's stressed out. positive.
