[QUOTE="My3girls&me, post: 87895, member: 4192"] I guess I need to be more specific about things. I am so new to this world, I am still living in a blur I think. My middle daughter CJ lives in her own world, meaning she just is easygoing, not upset or bothered by much but I do not think has any issues at all. I should have been more thoughtful when describing her I suppose. The difficult child is my daughter Emma - the youngest. I use the term diagnosis very loosely because the only healthcare professional she has seen other than her PCP is the behavioral specialist the school has brought in to work with her. Upon her suggestion of possible ODD, I have made an appointment to have her seen at the Behavioral Pediatric Clinic at Cincinnati Childrens but she cannot get in until April 08. I do have an appointment for her at NorthKey, which is a mental health clinic in our town. That appointment is next month. I am in the beginning stages of acknowledgment and treatment with this whole thing and I am just so dag on confused and not knowing where to turn. After a suggestion from someone in the group about Asperger's syndrome, I started researching on my own and most of what I have read is like reading something someone wrote just for my Emma. I am definitely going to bring that up. I am just feeling very alone and confused today. Her PCP doesn;t seem that supportive, (I have called twice today and still have not received a response) but I cannot get her into the mental health place any sooner and I am afraid they are going to blow me off at the ER. I just wish I had a concrete diagnosis so I knew how to proceed and how to at least try to help her. [/QUOTE]
