[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251232, member: 1233"] She could have seizures and you not know quite easily, actually. My daughter was 10 when we learned she had Absence epilepsy - the psychiatrist thought it was inattentive ADHD and that she was daydreaming. In reality her brain just "blanked out" as she described it. MANY behavioral problems can be caused by seizures. It used to be thought that there were only a few types of seizures, but now we know that isn't true. It depends where in the brain the seizure is in as to what behaviors it causes or stops. Wiz has described his rages as being outside of himself watching his behavior and unable to stop also. An EEG was done on him and came up with nothing, but I was never 100% convinced that some of his behaviors were NOT seizure induced. Just as an FYI, it is thought that migraines are often caused by a seizure in the vascular system in the brain, or something like that. Some type of seizure that affects the blood vessels. I would strongly recommend you get a child and adolescent psychiatrist on board, and a therapist also. Or maybe, given the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis, a developmental pediatrician. Actually, if you were here I would STRONGLY recommend the dev pediatrician, because I know one who is amazing. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) are both developmental disoders so many times they are treated by developmental pediatricians. They are highly trained. Ours is a certified child and adolescent psychiatrist who took an extra residency to be a dev pediatrician. Not sure if all of them are like that or not. Anyway, difficult child seems to be getting more difficult as she gets older, so getting the docs on board NOW so that interventions can be on board NOW is crucial. The earlier you can get accomodations and interventions in place the better the long term outcome. You have already done some with the speech and motor skills therapies, therapy for the sensory seeking behavior would be extremely helpful if you haven't already done it. risperdal is used to help deal with aggression. My son was 7 when we started using it. It made a HUGE difference. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
