[QUOTE="brokenlostandconfused, post: 539897, member: 14895"] Gosh, I'm in tears reading, lol. Thanks for all the responses. Ok, to try and address all the questions.... She is on Vyvanse 20mg and 1mg of Intuniv. It did help in the realm of school focus, which IS why I know it's not just ADHD. I had her on a stronger dosage of the Vyvanse, without the Intuniv but that did not work. We also tried Concerta and it did not help at ALL. This combo of medications has improved certain areas. She has a younger sister who will be 4 in a month. They both live with me. But I am a single parent. There is no parental involvement. Her home environment has been extremely stable because I know how important consistency is, esp for children like her. As an infant, she never slept. I partnered with her doctor then to chart her sleep and for the first year of her life, she average 7 hours of sleep a day, including naps. I was told by doctors that she would get the sleep she needed and not to be concerned. But I'm a mother. It's my job. While I was pregnant, she became very jealous. And once her sister was born the competition for attention began. I have made every effort to do thing for and with her separate of her sister so that her attention is individualized. It doesnt help. Others think I am over reacting, and that kids do these things. But i KNOW it's not normal. It's terrifying to think your child has no remorse. She does not care about consequences. Whatever they are, she will satisfy her need for whatever she wants and worry about the punishment later. And THAT is scary. I will try and look into getting a neuropsychologist evaluation when we see her psychologist. Again, thanks so much for the support. It's MUCH needed. [/QUOTE]
