[QUOTE="buddy, post: 539847, member: 12886"] I'm in with the others, definitely follow your gut (which sounds to me like you dont think this is just adhd), even if she had severe adhd, with total lack of impulse control, you would not see the manipulation and lack of remorse. There are other things at play. We are a diverse group here in many ways but we do get it when a kid is very very hard to parent. If you share more details (bio child, adopted, what age the symptoms started, what were her infant/toddler years like, how is school, etc....) we can share more stories that directly relate. I hope you can find a neuropsychologist quickly, they can have long waiting lists but compared to a lifetime of challenges, it is well worth the wait. If your insurance refuses and you can't afford out of pocket, then you might try a developmental pediatrician....check to see that they will do a comprehensive evaluation using multiple evaluators to get a big picture of what is going on...motor, learning styles, emotional issues, chemical and neurological symptoms.... Neuropsychologists are trained to make connections between behavior and how our brains work. They are broader in perspective than a typical psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, pediatrician..... in my humble opinion. HUGS, you are not alone...it is really tough. [/QUOTE]
