[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 194346, member: 1550"] I think you should take her to Ann Arbor for a neuropsychologist evaluation. University hospitals are usually quite good and "cutting edge." They also usually take Medicaid; I have it for my kids and myself--hub has no insurance through work. There is no way I'd trust social workers or even a plain psychologist for a diagnosis. There are many psychiatric issues in the family and she also has a few red flags for maybe high functioning autism. Ignoring a parent, not answering to name can be a symptom. Does she play with toys? Does she have any strange or odd behaviors such as arm flapping or clicking her tongue or making high pitched noises or rocking or touching everything she sees. Does she make good eye contact with strangers and play appropriately with her peers? I have a few links you can look at. One is for childhood onset bipolar (see if you see anything) and one is a test for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/autism (including Aspergers). Maybe they can help, but nothing NOTHING takes the place of a good, intensive neuropsychologist exam. Good luck :) [URL="http://www.bpkids.com"]www.bpkids.com[/URL] [URL]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
