[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 367982, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. I have a few questions that can help us help you. We really don't know enough to make any suggestions. 1/Who diagnosed her? Has she ever seen a neuropsychologist? (They are awesome diagnosticians in my opinion...it is common for younger kids to be misdiagnosed) 2/Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of her GENETIC family tree? Even if she never met Dad, she carries 50% of his genes so he is still with her, so to speak. 3/How was her early development? Did she talk on time? Did she like being held? Did she have strong eye contact with you and strangers? Can she transition from one activity to another without raging? Does she have any quirks or obsessive interests? Does she copy things she hears on TV or that others say? Does she understand how to relate to her same age peers and does she do it well? How does she do in school? Any sensitivities to noise/textures/certain foods? Does she sometimes seem to be "out of it" especially in unfamiliar settings yet at other times do you wonder "Is there really anything wrong at all?" Obviously, you have an atypical child, therefore she is not going to respond to typical parenting methods and I don't know if a therapist is a good idea until you are sure what is going on with her. Thrapists tend to tell you about interventions that work for kids who are typical children. ODD, by the way, very rarely stands alone and your daughter sounds extreme for ADHD. Mood disorders can be a misdiagnoses too. We had that happen with my son. He was wrongly treated for a mood disorder that he does not have. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
