[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687176, member: 1550"] You may want to have her get a neuropsychological evaluation. This has nothing to do with intelligence and is more diagnostic...and very thorough. It is not a neurological exam, it is a psychologist with extra training in the brain. My sons neuropychogical testing was ten hours long and answered questions others missed. Therapists, teachers and counselors are not really trained to diagnose psychiatric or neurological disorders and they dont do much treatment other than talking, which rarely works with our differently wired kids. medications arent the entire answer either. Sometimes certain ones make them worse. I hope things get better and you can find answers. This is clearly not your fault. Your daighter was likely born with differerent wiring and if you find out what is wrong it is easier to accept it and get appropriate interventions. If dhe was raped that probable added to everything tenfold. Take her tona place that hrlelps with sexual abuse. This horror happened to my oldest when she was a child and she.didnt tell us until she was fourteen "becsuse he said he'd find me and kill.us all if I told." Im not surprised she used drugs for a while. This needs to be addressed. Now. Not trying to scare you, but to me, her problems do sound quite severe with even more problems in the future if they are not taken care of now. [/QUOTE]
