[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 293152, member: 1550"] My first thought is that she probably has something other than ADHD, which is why it's getting worse. Has she ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? That's a long, intensive testing process for all disorders. ADHD is often the first, but often NOT the last diagnosis. our kids get and ODD, many of us feel, is unhelpful as a diagnosis. and caused by something bigger. I have a few questions that can help us help you better. by the way, our differently wired kids don't tend to respond to normal typical behavioral methods. I would do the neuropsychologist and skip the counselor for now. She obviously doesn't know how to help and in my opinion doesn't know what's really wrong. 1/Any psychiatric problems on either side of her family tree? Any substance abuse? Is your daughter on medications? Do they work? 2/How was her early development--speech, eye contact, cuddling, ability to mimic people, ease when transitioning from one activity to another, did she have any strange quirks? Did she play well and appropriately with toys? Is she able to socialize now with her same age peers in an appropriate way? Does she understand social norms and rules? Any sensitivities to sound, touch, certain foods...? Welcome to our board but sorry you had to come here. [/QUOTE]
