[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 188920, member: 1550"] Hi there. A few questions, but first off: You are NOT a bad parent. You are just seeing the wrong types of professionals who aren't testing her to see why she is like she is. It is NOT your fault--she is in some way wired differently. 1/Do you live in the US? 2/Has she ever been evaluated? Had an MDE? Seen a neuropsychologist? Seen anyone? Had any services? in my opinion, a four year old can't be "a jerk." There is something wrong with her though. Warning: ODD rarely if ever stands alone. Aspergers sounds possible. 3/Any mood disorders/ psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of her family tree? Was her development in any way atypical besides the screaming? Would she look you in the eye, cuddle? Did she speak on time and well? Any motor skills delays? Does she play appropriately with toys? Does she have a good imagination? Could be a lot of things, but the first thing I'd do is have her completely evaluated and if she were my kid I'd want to take her to a neuropsychologist. They are very intensive in their testing. If she has Aspergers (and I don't know if she does or not) it is very hard to find somebody who will or can or knows how to look for it and find it at such a young age, which is why I suggested a neuropsychologist. They are about as good diagnosticians as you can get in my opinion. I had no luck with any other type, including regular psychologists and psychiatrists. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
