[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 377213, member: 1550"] I just saw your post. First of all, welcome. Second of all, I'm not comfortable with a plain ole therapist suggesting a diet. The diet is controversial. You can try it; can't hurt. I would take your child in to see a neuropsychologist...they do awesome intensive tesing in every area and, like some others have said, it sounds like it could be something other than what sh has been diagnosed with. Sounds to me like she could be an the autism spectrum, high functioning. How was her early development and does she understand how to socialize with her same age peers? Any obsessive interests? Can she transition well from one activity to another or does that cause a total meltdown? Pervasive development disorder (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/autism) is a developmental delay. Except for Aspergers Syndrome, in which the kids have very good expressive language, the kids tend to have delayed speech. Even with Aspergers, the social skills just arent there and the child, like yours, may APPEAR self-centered because they don't relate well to other people...or understand them either. They need help with that. Also, they can act very childish in public since they are not tuned into their peers and are not concerned with looking silly in front of the other kids. At the same time, the kids are usually bright and DO care when they are teased and they are "different" which causes more meltdowns. Teachers don't understand them and often plain therapists don't get them. Behavioral therapy isn't that helpful with most of our kids, no matter what is wrong, but especially not with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. I have an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son and we struggled through the ADHD/ODD/anxiety/sensory disorder etc. long list wit inappropriate medications until he was finally figured out by a neuropsychologist since age 11. I've had no doubts every since and he is now 17. I would keep looking for answers and I'd do it with a neuropsychologist. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
