[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 142679"] I am so sorry that you are struggling with your daughter's behavior. Most, if not all of us here, have had similar feelings when trying to cope with the extra responsibilities and stresses of parenting a special needs child. It is so wonderful that you are seeing a therapist. I think that has got to be the first and best step you could take when trying to manage such a major stressor in your life. What about a local support group of like minded parents? Is there a NAMI or Parent's Annonmous Group in your city? I agree with what the others have said and had some of the same thoughts as Midwest Mom. It's probably best to make absolutely certain of your child's diagnosis. Second opinions and/or additional testing are almost always a good idea. Is your child on medication? Sometimes, this can be helpful. Make sure you take very special care of your health..this includes your spiritual, physical and emotional well being. There may be days that you will have to put your needs aside, but make sure that this is not an every day occurance. Have a plan to take care of your own needs so that you can be strong to help your child. [/QUOTE]
