[QUOTE="keista, post: 539140, member: 11965"] Welcome! Personally, I LOVE your psychiatrist for not dxing ODD. I'm sure she fits the criteria to a T. Thing is, the criteria require you to rule out other stuff first, and if other stuff (bipolar, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ect) ins NOT ruled out, well, guess what these disorders can cause? ODD-like symptoms. in my opinion and experience, true ODD is [B]VERY RARE[/B]. Those symptoms are usually caused by something else. While PTSD is entirely possible in a 5 1/2, I always find this odd as a primary diagnosis for a young child. Since you don't agree with it, I'm guessing she hasn't experienced any serious trauma, or has she? I like Buddy's "holy trinity of evaluations". neuropsychologist is the hardest evaluation to find/get and to get covered by insurance. A psychologist who specializes in evaluations may be your next best bet. DD1 had her's done by a woman who usually does does the evaluations for school districts. Why stop the clonodine? In addition to sleep issues, it's used for ADHD. Did it not help for the symptoms you see in her? [/QUOTE]
