[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 535848, member: 7170"] Welcome I'm glad you found us but sorry you needed to, I see the others have given you some good advise... that's a good one - use it You definitely need to get a thorough evaluation done including neurologist EEG, it's going to be difficult getting an accurate evaluation done missing family history and developmental milestones but I didn't know any of Angel's bio dad's mental health stuff till after she was diagnosis'd bipolar, ODD, adHd at 6yo and her milestones were advanced she was 12yo before ever occurred to me to take her to a developmental pediatrician. What I did was kept a calendar with decent size boxes and multi colored pens each color for different thing- a color for sleep what time, how long, nitemares etc., another for possible food sensitivities, school calls gets a color... What you feel needs to be documented - Angel had bipolar so my calendar used red/anger, blue/sad, purple/sexual, orange/stealing, green/food, black/sleep and everything else - fact I assigned a purple to a 3-6yo was a big red flag to psychiatrist's. 1-3 words if need more space put reference # in appropriate color and write it out in journal but it provides at a glance a quick visual of what is going on. I've seen parents going into psychiatrists office with boxes of charts & journals and that psychiatrist doesn't have 2 weeks to sit down and read all that - he might see something on a calendar he wants to read more about in the journal if its easy to locate the info though. hope some of this helps and welcome to the forums [/QUOTE]
