[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 179957, member: 5663"] 1. The person who did the orignal "suggestive" diagnosis was a friend, then her pediatrician. We took her to a therapist for a year who agreed, and during that time took her to a psychiatrist for an evaluation who ruled that out (but, he was not a good psychiatric, he suggested giving her candy to get her to go along with the evaluation - not a good idea for a food dye sensitive kid). I really dont' think she has ADHD as she can actually sit still for quite a while if she wants to, can concentrate if she wants to, etc. 2. If anything she's sensitive seeking. Doesn't cry a lot when she falls, does daring things that thrill her, doesn't care if shoes are on backwards. She was actually a really good baby up until about age 2. Always has been good at independent play. So not clingy. Is not adverse to weird foods (will eat sushi, broccoli and many foods I won't eat because I don't like the texture). 3. The only pattern I have noticed is the 6pm thing and the bedtime thing. I'll really have to watch for other triggers. I do try to give her warnings before I change the activity (ie "5 minutes until bed" or "after you do x we'll do y".) The thoughts of some form of autism comes up from time to time, but she really only shows two signs, but does it often. The not looking in your eye when talking (which I do too) and lining things up. She's really social though. [/QUOTE]
