[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 272962, member: 1550"] I have a son with autistic spectrum disorder and I think she is different than a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) child, but to make sure I'd take her to a neuropsychologist. (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids usually have no imagination). You have schizophrenia in the family. That doesn't mean she has it, but she is at increased risk, even if it's just a grandparent. Actually, that's a close relative. I think you realize she is not your "typical" child. neuropsychologist evaluations are the longest and most intentive evaluations available and they are in my opinion also the very best. This in my opinion transcends ADHD. I would want to have her tested ASAP so you can help her as soon as possible. A regular psychologist is normally a poor diagnostician. I have bipolar and with my son's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) we've both seen a lot of professioanls and I think NeuroPsychs diagnose even more accurately than Psychiatarists because they run testing from 6-10 hours and catch what others miss. I wish you and your sweet little one the best regardless of what you decide to do. And welcome to the board :happy: [/QUOTE]
