[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 152223, member: 59"] Gosh Shari, all that could have been written about my difficult child too. I don't look at this as only an ADHD diagnosis. It is the one they can somewhat concretely identify for insurance purposes and even possibly treat with medication. I have had my difficult child evaluated three seperate times and not once did they ever give a diagnosis that seemed to cover everything going on with her, instead they call it not otherwise specified mood disorder. But they too identify symptoms of attachment problems, impulsiveness, behavioral problems, ODD, language problems, etc. Children who have severe behavioral issues mostly all have a variety of symptoms. It's frustrating I know, because I too wanted a diagnosis I could see that coevered everything, something to treat, something that wrapped all her behaviors up in one package. The problem is that just doesn't happen. Your difficult child is only six. Over the coming years he is going to change so much, some behaviors will get better, some may get worse, new ones will most certainly come up. That's why it is so utterly exhausting for us parents and why we are so frustrated that there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. The most helpful part of this report is: "Therefore, intensive intervention across home, school, and community settings is warranted at this time." Hopefully this therapist has some ideas on how you can accomplish this. We have often said that it is taking a village to raise our difficult child and that is literal. We had to put in place interventions across the board for her with very little help from anyone. At least this therapist seems to recognize that is necessary so hopefully he will have some ideas on how you can accomplish that. MWM I continue to wonder why it is that every single person that every gets the diagnosis of anything that has anything to do with attachment problems you negate it, but seem to jump at other diagnosis that you promote.
