[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739867, member: 1550"] Things dont change unless WE change. Maybe it would be helpful to all if you and wife backed off or take her for a new assessment. But what you are doing now isnt helping you or her. And nothing will change if things stay the same. I personally dont think she is being spiteful, no matter how it looks to you, nor will she be a good candidate for tough love and years of psychiatry havent helped her. I dont remember if I recommended a neuropsychologist evaluation but that is a better more intensive evaluation that covers psychology AND neurology. You find them in university clinics. Some are private. A fresh eye is often a good thing. I personally dont believe that your daughter can change herself and conventional therapy isnt helping her. Horseback riding therapy may really comfort her. Animals are so loving. It probably wont change her. She cant function. She needs more help than that. I still believe she is probably on the autism spectrum in which she could improve greatly with the right interventions...no need always for medications. My son doesnt take any medications. Your daughter isnt like this to punish you and her happiness probably looks different to what would make you happy. She may not like or want a lot of friends or partying and may be too socially hampered or sensory challenged to leave the house until she gets sensory help from an occupational therapist and a social skills class. I also recommend physical therapy. Try a new path. The old one is not appropriate because it is not working. It may be appropriate for other people but hasnt helped her at all. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Sometimes parents need to step outside of our comfort zones too. You may not think your daughter has a neurological difference like autism and it may scare you and maybe she doesnt have it but can it hurt to get a fresh look at her by a good neuro psychologist? She is not doing well. I feel she is not defiant and is doing the best she can with her current limitations which are quite real for her. I feel badly for her. Okay off the soapbox. Wishing your family well. [/QUOTE]
