[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 549139"] Personally, I would never have a General Practitioner (family doctor) diagnose anything but physical ailments. You really should find a good child psychologist or psychiatrist to do the actual diagnosing. If you can find a checklist (I know people here have mentioned one you can do online & print but can't remember where it is) it might be helpful to them. They will also have forms for you and the school to fill out to actually do the diagnosing (at least they SHOULD). Today, can you give her a "project" to do that isn't too overwhelming and involving something she likes? That's what I usually do when difficult child 1 is bored. Yes, I am the one that has to come up with something sometimes and it sometimes even means me doing something with him. It's usually better than the alternative, which is further frustration and an eventual meltdown. Just out of curiosity, where on the planet are you located? Keep it general but it might help others steer you in the right direction if we have an idea of where you live. [/QUOTE]
