[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 137775, member: 1550"] I think you need to take her to a neuropsychologist, not a Psychiatrist. That's where in my opinion you'll get the most thorough diagnosis and the best results. For us, that meant our son was tested for twelve hours in very specific ways and observed and talked to to see how well he can socialize, his eye contact, his understanding of language and anything eles. I don't think the doctor should have given her medicine yet. He doesn't know what is causing the behavior. It may NOT be ADHD/ODD. I would want her tested to everything, including autistic spectrum disorder, high functioning, before I gave this child medication. However, I disagree that family therapy alone is the key. This child may have a neurological condition that requires interventions, not a behavioral issue. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
