[QUOTE="DoesItGetBetter??, post: 282871, member: 7618"] I'm new to this site so not too sure how to respond to one post. She has never been diagnosed with bipolar. My daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD when she was 3 1/2. I had never known anyone who had it until I met her father. My ex-husband(their father) has it, his brother has it and not sure what's wrong with his mother. Anyway one Pediatrician diagnosed her first with ADHD. Then a second one said ODD. I thought he was a Quack then looked it up and almost fell off the chair. I did a lot of research and that's what she has. Then we started seeing a psychologist and then child psychatrist. She was hospitalized last year for 3wks and re-diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, mood disorder. Most of her aggression is taken out on adults. She definatley has ADHD, ODD and now wondering if maybe it's bipolar. She's not just on Ritalin she's on Adderhol, Geodon, Rhisperadol and Ritalin. (not sure the spelling) She has been on everything under the sun for ADHD. I was told according to the ADA that they have to make "reasonable" accomodations for her. I have never got into the legal aspect of it before but I'm tired of jumping daycares. I can not afford this and soon could lose my job because of it. As far as her childhood development she walked at 9months, talked at 1yr (Thank you was her first words) and because of all the outburst she didn't potty train until 3 1/2 yrs. My girls have been through alot which the mood disorder and PTSD is a direct result of. The girls dad molested my youngest(PTSD) when she was 4. (We're pending trial) And that's just a little of the trama they've had. We moved here and my mom and Grandmother died. So they have no Granny, just me, my dad and oldest daughter who's in college. They will never see my ex's family again and just found out my ex's dad died two years ago, his mom's in prison(again) so my babies have been through a lot. I don't think that we have a NeuroPsycheo here and my daughter has been diagnosed with the same thing by 6 Dr's in two different states. They said that she was too young to diagnose as bipolar but I believe that's where we're heading. I'm just tired of changing medicine, I'm tired of seeing her get angry, I'm tired of people judging/labeling her as a "bad child" I want my angel with me. I can tolerate the mood swings most of the time but I know how sweet she is. She tends to mother younger children and did that a lot with her little sister when they would be at daycare. They were in home daycare, my 8yr. old was too much for her to handle so she couldn't see them anymore. There are NO daycares that cater to special children. None that I know of.
