[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 516094, member: 11791"] Hi, C - and welcome... I don't have time for my usual "book" of questions and comments... it's late and I should have signed off long ago, but... To jump-start things for the others who will come along later or tomorrow: Mind if we ask a few questions? Who has given your daughter the diagnoses, and when? What was she like she was little? when she started school? Is she your bio child, or adopted? Family history of dxes? Who else lives with the two of you? Is there a parent involved who does not live with you? Has she ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues? Ever had an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation for auditory processing? ADHD is an interesting diagnosis. It is frequently missed... and frequently diagnosed when it isn't quite the right diagnosis... AND really, really often comes with "baggage": other dxes are often comorbid with ADHD. So... the chances are pretty good that either this she is dealing with "ADHD plus a bunch of other stuff", or she's dealing with "something else that just looks like ADHD". What "looks like" ADHD? Well, for starters, APDs do (our experience... our difficult child is ADHD plus Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) plus other stuff). Others on the board started with ADHD and ended up with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspergers. I'm sure there's a few other "transitions" that I don't remember right now. What goes with ADHD? APDs. Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)/whatever other name or diagnosis you want to use for motor skills issues. sensory processing disorder (SPD)/Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). LDs. And those are just the really obvious, frequent ones that I deal with daily. Any details you can give us, will help other Moms see key info that ties to their own experience... so we can try and help. Meanwhile... if you're still awake, go have a nice soak in the tub (one of our collective "escapes") or something else you find relaxing. Part of dealing with our difficult children is learning how to take care of ourselves along the way. [/QUOTE]
