[QUOTE="ca_girls, post: 199062, member: 5986"] Thanks for the replies! I'll try to answer all those questions! Her pediatrician diagnosed her with ODD three weeks ago and didn't even want to discuss medications. She wanted to err on the safe side and see if therapy would work on its own. At that point, I still wasn't sure what, if anything, was going on with daughter. But I knew that her behavior was not normal. I suffer from depression and anxiety as do several members of my immediate family. daughter is severely anxious which in turn makes her depressed. Another huge thing is that she's incredibly touch sensitive. The softest seam is painful to her. Sometimes I think it's a control thing. Sometimes I think she's faking. Sometimes I think it's really true. She's also painfully shy -- can't even look most adults in the eye. No substance abuse at all in the immediate or extended family. (How blessed are we?) She is definitely not ADHD. She concentrates well, gets straight A's, is a very talented musician (piano and trumpet), will read for hours on end, participates in class and has friends. Her teachers right now (she just started middle school) have no idea what's going on. I'm still trying to process it and get things under control before I share with them. Besides, I don't want her to be labeled. All her elem. school teachers were always shocked when I told them what daughter was like at home. She's the polar opposite at school. So far, she hasn't seen a neuro-psychologist or child psychiatrist. I am planning to call our insurance tmro to find out what the protocal is for those visits. I'll keep you all posted on what happens! Kate [/QUOTE]
