[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 381055, member: 1550"] It's late, but I wanted to welcome you and say I'm sorry things are tough. If this were my daughter, I would take her to a neuropsychologist for a complete evaluation. I believe it is far more than ADHD and I would want everything looked at. NeuroPsychs are psychologists with special extra training in the brain and they test for everything...takes 6-10 hours and tends to be the best diagnosis you can get. You can't get help if you don't know what you are dealing with. I'm appalled she was sexually abused in school and maybe that's why she strikes out at the boys, but if she won't (or CAN'T) discuss her feelings in therapy, you really won't know why she does it. Answering a few questions would help us: What was her biological father like? Any issues? Substance abuse? Psychiatric? Although he's no longer around, shes carries 50% of his genes and he is relevant in her life as far as heredity goes. If he has a psychiatric problem or if there are psychiatric or neurological issues in his family, your daughter could have inherited them. How was her early development. Did she speak on time, make good eye contact with starngers, play with toys appropriately, and could she transition from one activity to another without freaking out? What about now? Does she do well with her same age peers? Can she have a give-and-take conversation? Any quirks or obsessive interests? Can she stand crowds, bright lights, loud noise, textured clothing...? The suicide attempt alone should be enough to get her a private neuropsychologist evaluation. You can find NeuroPsychs at Children's and University hospitals. Good luck, whatevr you decide to do and keep posting! [/QUOTE]
