[QUOTE="SRL, post: 138162, member: 701"] I'm sorry you've had such a run around. I hadn't read your earlier posts so I just went back and it sounds like you've been through a whole lot of assessments from an early age and still don't have any answers. There are red flags for something beyond ADHD/ODD going on here and if you're still seeing the developmental pediatrician s/he should have been doing more to help you. I do agree this psychiatrist shouldn't have offered medications without having a firm direction and it sounds like her practice might be functioning with having mostly outside diagnostics done and her taking it from there to do the medicating. That's fine if you understand that in advance and she provides direction to pull the diagnostics together, otherwise it would make for a frustrating appointment. I agree that a neuropsychologist is the way to go--lots of things going on here that probably have a common underlying explanation. Usually they aren't in such a rush and will really take time to listen. Does your daughter have friends? Is she asking to have kids over and being invited over to play in return? What are her teachers reporting about her social skills--is she playing with kids, playing alongside them, etc? [/QUOTE]
