[QUOTE="buddy, post: 539124, member: 12886"] My son needs the clonidine for control over rages. Is she worse since off the clonidine? Maybe she needs tiny amounts during the day? Anyway, LOL, doing this backwards ....hello! Wanted to say sorry this is so hard...finding a diagnosis should not be so tough. Have you tried what I'm going to start calling the holy trinity of evaluations lately ...haha.....a neuropsychology evaluation. and an Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)/auditory processing evaluation? The neuropsychologist looks more broadly at all issues ..mental health,neuro , life circumstances, etc.... Their job is to look at our brain (and any possible history that can affect it ) and behaviors, skills, etc....and see how they are connected. It is a long evaluation and usually very helpful. It can take a long time to get in and while waiting you often can get an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation to look for subtle sources of her upsets like motor planning problems, sensory integration problems etc. Also get a speech -lang evaluation to check for language or auditory processing problems. Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) may refer to an Audiologist who specializes in hidden hearing problems where people can hear sounds fine but the brain does not understand what it hears. This can happen with vision too and the Occupational Therapist (OT) can help sort out if thats an issue. If you've already done that ....???? Have you had any school evaluations? Early childhood evaluations are free and in some areas offer amazing services. It's legally required to be available everywhere ....but obviously some school districts do better than others. I'm on my phone so can't remember if you're a new member so if you are not new and I've said this before I'm sorry ...(blusing ). One thing I can say for sure though. You are not alone. I for one know how hard it is to live with that. And how awful it is to see your child not be able to have a happy carefree childhood. Hugs ... [/QUOTE]
