[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 583059, member: 1550"] I would still have her totally evaluated. Still sounds like way more than ADHD to me. At the very least it is better to be safe than sorry.Is she on medication? If so, it's not helping. Her taintrums sound extreme for ADHD. I know ADHD is a less scary diagnosis than some others, but she really does seem worse than ADHD. And ADHD is often a first diagnosis a nd a wrong one. My son was first dxd. with ADHD/ODD too and that wasn't the problem. Our kids tend to not become more "typical" hanging around with typical kids. The typical kids usually just reject their behavior and they don't copy their behavior. She could have anything from high functioning autism (ASDers love adults over kids because they are so much more accepting) to a childhood mood disorder with other things sandwiched in between. I don't know who diagnosed your daughter but unless it was a neuropsychologist who tested for 6-10 hours, I'd want more answers. She isn't improving and you are not happy with her behaviors. in my opinion she has been misdiagnosed which is why she isn't getting any better. And that's not fair to either of you. She isn't "bad"...she is miserable. And these kids are born this way. It's not your fault. [/QUOTE]
