[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525910, member: 11791"] Rob - People over on Parent Emeritus probably have more ideas... that's where the "adult kids" are... I don't have experience with adult kids. But I do have experience with "stuck". For us... we had to find the source of the glue. Dynamite didn't do it... couldn't blast difficult child out of that cycle. All the "carrots" and rewards couldn't budge him. It wasn't about "want to". He couldn't. We had to find the drain... the major energy drain that was "killing him". Once we found that (only took 10 years or so), the turn-around has been amazing. Lets see... sleep issues have been around for a long time... has she ever had a sleep study? Sleep is one of those catch-22s, in that various conditions can lead to sleep issues... but sleep issues can also lead to all sorts of other problems. Sounds like you're not really questioning the ADD/ADHD diagnosis - but medications etc. haven't helped? Who did the diagnosis? What other evaluations have been done? [/QUOTE]
