[QUOTE="buddy, post: 589603, member: 12886"] Neuropsychologist. They are specially trained to link behavior with how the brain works, whether developmental or mental health issues. There are other areas they consider but do not do in depth testing in, and the only one that really sticks out to me here (given that she has no problems in school etc) would be occupational therapy. If she has sensory integration disorder she could get irritable and while she may be able to control her reactions for most of her time, she may unload on those closest to her. You know how you can feel kind of off but at work still be ok, then suddenly when you get home you want to scream or have little patience for others? Her every day could be like that if she has some form of sensory integration disorder. Or not. But you can check it out by going to a pediatric occupational therapist who specializes in sensory integration disorder. There is a book and web site info called The Out of Sync Child. The good thing about that is there is some really good therapy available. The truth is there is usually a combo of things going on by this age especially. So I think you are on a good track to seek a different parenting idea like Ross Greene and to seek evaluations where you can. Welcome! We all share from our own experience but one thing we all "get" is how tricky and exhausting it can be to parent a difficult child. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
