[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 360002, member: 8831"] i am no a doctor, nor do i play on one tv, but honestly? and i do NOT mean to sound presumptious....i'm assuming some of this stuff has been done, but i'm saying it on the off chance it hasnt. i'd find it hard to believe your difficult child has (or only has) adhd-in and ODD. not just hard,[I] impossible[/I]. i think life works in mysterious ways, and i'm actually glad you told off the current doctors and hope you find a new one asap. i think its aggregious that a professional could chalk any of this up to adhd/odd. i'd personally take a very hard look at whatever medications yours is on....i'd be very concerned if there is any stimulant (ESPECIALLY alone!). comorbidity? [I]maybe[/I]. but from what you say, i personally wouldnt be leaning to spectrum diagnosis's. i'm not even so sure i'd buy the adhd-in diagnosis right now. if you havent already, i think i'd be starting down the road to have all things medical ruled out (neurology, audiology, endocrinology, and so on) and then either deal with a medical issue or know its time to really just focus on the psychiatric side. which may mean a reasonable time impatient stay for the professionals you choose to REALLY evaluate the situation and REALLY be agressive with medications. i also think all of this is way beyond the scope of any therapist or sw or case manager or other layperson with a few letters after their name. i really think the situation requires a very hands on psychiatrist, as in psychiatrist, not psychologist, who will see her regularly...not once a month for 10 min. i know its easier said than done, but it sounds like even right here you have great local support with someone who has been there done that....at least the two of you can put your heads together to rule dr's OUT if nothing else. i dont know [I]what[/I] you are looking at, but i hope you are finally on the road to finding the sorely needed help your difficult child needs. my heart goes out to both you and your difficult child.
