[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 148684, member: 3907"] Hello Mysunshine, and welcome! From the sound of things, there might be more going on than just ADHD. I'm not a doctor by any means, but a lot of us have found that ADHD is an initial diagnosis based on the symptoms of an underlying issue. Other conditions (Autism spectrum disorders, Mood disorders, etc.) without appropriate accommodations or interventions can result in hyper and defiant behaviour which can look like ADHD or ODD (another common initial diagnosis). I would suggest that you have your child re-evaluated. As 'Chelle suggested, a neuropsychologist is a good bet, as the testing is intensive and can highlight neurological issues that other forms of testing don't necessarily find. The issue with your daughter's socks caught my attention. Did she or does she have any other sensory issues? Irritated by tags in the neck of clothing, or certain fabric textures, issues with food textures, lights, sounds, etc? These sorts of things are often part of Sensory Integration Disorder (Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)), which can stand alone or be part of other conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)). A neuropsychologist can help pinpoint these types of issues as well. Others will be along to weigh in with their excellent advice. You've found a great place here...full of support. Trinity [/QUOTE]
