[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 707195, member: 1550"] Has she ever been evaluated by a neuro psychcologist (a psychologist with extra training in the brain?). I would. She is not acting like a typyical ten year old and with the sensory issues she could have a form of autism or some other neurological glitch. This would have nohjing to do with your parenting at all. It just means she is wired differently and needs interventions that help her for that rather than just talk therapy. Is she seeing an occupational therapist at least for her sensory issues? How is her speech? Was it ever delayed? Does she understand how to socialize with her same age peers? Does she have any obsessive interests that blot out other interests? Does she know how to have a give and take conversation or does she tend to monologue or just get frustrated when talking and cry or shut down? I dont think this is a parenting issue or a "bad" girl. I think she has probably not been diagnosed right. ODD is kind of placeholder diagnosis that usually means "she cant behave, but I am not sure why." I found a neuro psychologist the most pervasive, intensive, accurate diagnostician. My son had been chronically misdiagnosed with ADHD, ODD and (cringe) childood bipolar. Oh the medications they put him on!!! When he finally got an intensive evaluation (ten hours)and was taken off the medications, we had a nice, bright kid with mild autism who got interventions and is doing very well today, on his own at 23 and very beloved by all. But we had to keep looking for answers until we found the right one. As soon as we got it, he took off fast. The bipolar diagnoses was the worst. He doesnt even hsve moodswings, but at the time the diagnoses was the flavor of the day...be careful and hugs for your hurting heart. Dont quit. [/QUOTE]
