[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 6753, member: 23"] Co-existing conditions unfortunately is the norm rather than the exception. So I am a big fan of multidisciplinary evaluations. If you haven't found MDE info, it's on the FAQ/Board help forum. You'll find it with-the Parent Report info -- another wonderful tool for parents. "She chews her nails and nail beds terribly and tears any piece of paper she can get hold of." My son's anxiety symptoms that can be "seen" include biting nails and cuticles (to the point of infection sometimes). Just so you know, anxiety can also be a side affect of some medications. Behavior logs/journals are good tools. Use columns for date, time, behavior in a spiral notebook or 3 ring binder. I used a calendar I had designed in MS Word. (It helped me pickup on patterns of behavior related to his anxiety.) "My family doesn't understand." Another problem many of us deal with on a regular basis. When difficult child was so out-of-it, it was too much to deal with-on top of everything else. A motto developed: Lead, follow or shut up. It worked for me. lol Welcome aboard. [/QUOTE]
