[QUOTE="krittengirl, post: 330137, member: 8707"] Hi, I'm new here. I have 4 children, 3 of whom have some type of issues going on. The one I'm really needing help with is my 7 year old daughter. She has been diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, and ADHD. She sees a counselor regularly at The Center for Autism, a local clinic in my area. She has been on a number of medications and is currently on Concerta and Zoloft (past medications including Adderall, and Focalin have made her extremely emotional and have brought out a lot of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies). She has seen an remarkable increase in sensory issues since this past fall as well as with stealing/destroying things. She has very little impulse control and tells us and her counselor that she can't stop herself from doing things. She is a very sweet girl who everyone likes upon first meeting her. Educationally she is average. She tires very easily, has trouble winding down and going to sleep at night but also has trouble waking up once she is sleeping. What I am wondering is if it would be beneficial to take her to a neurologist. Could this actually help us in treating her, or would it just be another picture of what we probably already know.
