[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 599898, member: 3419"] Welcome, droesc. You sound a bit like I was a few yrs ago. Although I/we did therapy from the get-go. But I know the feeling of constant arguing, not being able to stay on task, blaming everything on everyone else. And having a parent or parents in a nursing facility, suffering from Alzheimer's, and you are sandwiched in between. It really wears you out. Most of us here suffer from at least situational depression and many of us have gone on medication, just to make it through these years. I agree with-the others, that your child needs a total evaluation from a neuropsychologist. Hours of testing, both psychoeducational and pscychological, along with-any testing they can do for auditory processing and even vestibular issues. Some of the tests that my friends whose kids with-Asperger's did, I did at home and saved money :) such as putting the kid on a swing and twirling the ropes all the way and then letting go so that they spin. Most kids will say "Stop!" but a kid with-vestibular issues, which can be common in autism, for ex, will not mind, and may even want to continue. (My son yelled "Stop!" My friend's son was totally unfazed.) Also, does your daughter like to be held really, really tightly? Does she shout all the time or speak really fast? There could be mood disorders mixed in there. It is hard to tell at this age but a good diagnostician will be able to not only spot the obvious signs, but be able to see an emerging issue, such as bipolar, for example. You've got to be totally consistent with-discipline. I know the feeling of giving in. So many days I wake up and wish I were an army colonel or football coach instead of an artist and writer. :( [/QUOTE]
