[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 194963, member: 1550"] Cat, I didn't see you are in Wisconsin. Hiiiiiiiiii!!! (waving) Hey, I meant NeuroPsycologist report. Not counselors or therapists or even a psychiatrist. NeuroPsychs are more thorough and tend to do much better diagnosing. We told our daughter that, since she breeched out trust, she had no privacy and we used to check her room and purse all the time. Lucky for us we did because we found a note explaining how she was going to run off with some internet guy in Colorado. We put the big kabosh on that and changed our password so she couldn't get on the computer. She isn't computer savvy. We gave her NO money when she started acting up. She went to work at Walmart at 16 and amazingly did great even high. She probably spent her own money on this stuff, but, since we also stopped buying her clothes, except from Good Will, she had to spend a lot of it on that. Liking to start fires can be a symptom more of bipolar than ADHD. I'd really want to check that out. I'm not a fan of ADHD medications for reasons I stated above--they can and often are abused by teens. My daughter's friends used to fake ADHD to get the pills. My daughter got cigarettes too--not sure how--other than, when somebody got paid from work, they'd ask younger adults to buy them for them and give them the money, and they didn't have trouble getting any. Booze too. Some drugs don't show up on drug screens. Beware of that too. I wish you luck, better luck than we had! [/QUOTE]
