[QUOTE="buddy, post: 534477, member: 12886"] Hi! Welcome. Sounds like your daughter has a ton of diagnoses, some of which can be stand alone, and some that tend to be more symptoms that go along with other/bigger "umbrella" diagnoses. You say you are not totally comfortable with the adhd diagnosis. Who gave her all of these labels? Is she in school yet? (even a sp ed early childhood program?).... Just curious, as you have probably seen, we all get asked a lot of questions at first then we can share with each other from how we can relate to what you are going through or what your child's issues are in comparison to what we live with... Have you ever had a neuropsychologist evaluation done or an evaluation with a developmental pediatrician (and their group of professionals--often Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), Occupational Therapist (OT), pt, psychiatric). You must have Occupational Therapist (OT) done because you say she has sensory processing disorder (SPD). You said she was daughter is that still standing? What are the areas of delay? daughter plus sensory processing disorder (SPD) plus adhd plus ODD plus anxiety are all symptoms that combined describe kids on the autism spectrum. Not knowing your difficult child at all or anything else beyond what you wrote here, I am just throwing that out there because the blessing in that (if it rings a bell with you, and it may take a specialty clinic to see... often typical docs and psychs don't catch it adn that is why many many of us have lived thru the array of diagnosis like you have to then end up with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the end).....many just dont see the SPECTRUM part of it and only look for classic signs of autism. Anyway, the blessing is that the therapies available and used are so much more effective than approaching each one of the diagnosis. Actually even for non Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) therapies can be very helpful. So, in the situation with your daughters/breakfast....there are techniques to help calm.... visuals to help show choices and "rules" etc. It depends on the child but if you have a very set routine that too can be a tool to help prevent these kinds of things if they happen frequently. (pick choices then, all done) From her perspective she declined the muffin but may have planned on it later. I fully agree that not letting your easy child have it would not have worked. (sometimes negotiating a half or part can help but depends on easy child being open to that of coruse). You have a lot on your plate! (but not anymore muffins, lol) So glad you joined us and will be fun to get to know more about your difficult child and easy child! [/QUOTE]
