[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 202017, member: 1550"] I would forget about ADHD. It could be many things and I'd keep an open mind. At her age, you can, at best, get a working diagnosis (which will likely change with time) but it can lead to interventions in the community and school (they are useful). I would take her to a neuropsychologist or for a Multidisciplinary Evaluation. No one here can diagnose, but it sounds like more than ADHD to me--you have mood disorders in the family. Substance abuse, even if resolved, are also red flags for mood disorders. She also has SOME red flags for some sort of autistic spectrum disorder. It can be a lot of stuff, and a pediatrician won't be able to diagnose it. It's out of his field. I like NeuroPsychs because they test very intensively and often nail problems others miss. Good luck.
