[QUOTE="SRL, post: 50959, member: 701"] Oh you poor dear! Parenting these kids is never easy and you have a huge load on top of it. Many of our moms do turn to antidepressants and/or counseling. Mom needs to be able to function or the whole family falls apart. The lying can be due to ODD but it can also be at least in part due to misunderstanding. There are some understanding aspects of speech that are easily misinterpreted as bad behavior by parents and other adults. I agree to stop all forms of discipline that aren't working, including spanking. Focus on prevention and keeping everyone safe for now. I'm with LovingAbbey on this one: I'd want an MRI, neuropsycholgical evaluation to determine strengths, weaknesses, etc. as well as a full occupational therapy workup including swallowing test. What you have had done is a very skim the surface evaluation and you want "the works". I am extremely uneasy with this diagnosis given without an MRI being done. Sometimes there are neurological things going on that can only be determined or ruled out by an MRI and EEG. I would make a call to your own pediatrician and tell him/her that you feel this neurological appointment was incomplete and that you would like have those scheduled. [/QUOTE]
