[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 121487, member: 1550"] She has a loaded genetic tree. My son was a foster child and his birthmother did drugs and who knows what else was wrong with her? He is on the autism spectrum and he's lucky it's not worse. I would want to keep following your daughter--problems with birth often do cause disorders plus she has a heck of a genepool. I know you like your psychologist, but I would consider a second opinion from a neuropsychologist or a Psychiatrist (with the MD). We never had much luck with plain psychologists. They didn't seem to understand all the possibilities that could be causing my son's behaviors which lead to lots of misdiagnoses and medications. I would personally NOT medicate any child until I was positive, in my own mind, and had two opinions on what was wrong. My son was on at least ten medications before we found out his disorder didn't require medications, just vigilant interventions. I don't like when professionals rush medications and in my opinion as parents it's best to get a few opinions before deciding what to do with our kids. If one professional isn't improving the life of our children, even if we like them, sometimes it's time to move on. I loved my son's psychiatrist, but it turned out, after three years, that his bipolar diagnosis of my son was wrong. My son is doing great off medications four years later and is clearly not bipolar and clearly IS on the autism spectrum (that is something that is often hard to see when kids are younger). My motto is "Leave no stone unturned." I've also been misdiagnosed a lot. I have bipolar and can't tell you how long it took for the doctors to get it right. I *do* have to be on medications. It all depends on what's wrong. I don't like medications to correct every behavior. JMO and welcome :) [/QUOTE]
