[QUOTE="crazymamawoman, post: 54468, member: 3852"] Oh, sure! [b]What specifically has been ruled out (both medical causes and diagnosible disorders)? [/b]ADD and ADHD have been ruled out. Those were the two they specifically mentioned, but the peds also said they don't see any condition or physical cause for these problems. [b]What kind of doctors did the evaluation? What kind of testing was done?[/b] Just our family pediatricians, two different ones from the same practice. Testing was basically their evaluations and our responses at age 3, 4 and 5 to a questionnaire rating her behavioral issues. [b]Does your difficult child have any developmental or speech delays?[/b] None. [b]How does she do in school, both academically and with peers?[/b] Academically, she's going to start the advanced study program next year although I'm not sure if she's truly gifted.

Socially, she's fairly popular and is invited to many birthday parties, etc. of her friends.
