[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359341, member: 1233"] Your daughter NEEDS a VERY complete evaluation, including a neurological evaluation for the spacing out and not answering to her name. You need to rule out some sort of seizure disorder and/or other neurological issues. in my opinion you need to get a referral to a pediatric neurologist to get a sleep deprived EEG done. To give the docs a good list of what is going on, I STRONGLY urge you to complete a Parent Report. If you go to the FAQ/Board Help Forum and open a thread called Parent Input/Multidisciplary Evaluation (might be just MDE), you will find an outline that was made many years ago to help keep ALL the info about a difficult child in one place. It is still the most complete report on one of our kids that I have ever seen. Even if you cannot complete it all before the appointment, take what you have. Actually, make a summary of it all (like an Executive Summary of a report) that includes all the symptoms in a bullet list format and make SURE the psychiatrist sees that summary with the list. The report takes a couple of sessions to complete. There is just so much info that it is more complete if you work on it in sections. I hope you get some help for her soon. [/QUOTE]
