[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 217576, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. I have a few questions for you so that we can help you better. You may want to do a signature like I did below. by the way, SEVEN KIDS!!! (Wow!) Ok, here goes. 1/Has she ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist. This is a 6-10 hour testing evaluation that covers every possible disorder. JMO, but I'd be leery of anyone talking about CD at age twelve. in my opinion that is probably way off base and you should get another opinion and NeuroPsychs are great. A lot of us really like them. They do actual testing rather than just listening to us rattle off behaviors and talking to the kids. 2/Are there any psychiatric disorders on either side of your daughter's family tree, including her biological father. Any subtance abuse? Substance abuse is a red flag for certain psychiatric disorders that are often self-medicated. 3/How was her early development? Did she speak on time? Make good eye contact with strangers? Cuddle? Do well in fine and gross motor skills? Does she and did she (in the past) know how to relate normally to her same age, non-related peers? Can she hold a give-and-take conversation and stay on track? Does she understand social cues? Does she "get" life? How does she do in school? What sets her off? Is she sensitive to noise, textures, materials, lights? Does she have any obsessive interests to the exclusion of most others? Does she appear to lack empathy or a connection to others? If you answer these questions we will have more info and will be able to help you more. Since most of the kids have disorders, I'm assuming something runs in the family. Even the chaos of a big family shouldn't "throw" a kid that much. Most kids are resilient. This, however, would not be the case if she ever suffered sexual abuse...that would be another question. Glad you joined us, but sorry you had to be here. Be sure to pick up "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene while you are hopefully waiting for a neuropsychologist evaluation. It will help until you have a good handle on what is really going on. [/QUOTE]
