[QUOTE="jal, post: 238030, member: 3477"] Welcome. You child sounds a lot like mine and he recently has been diagnosis'd Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) - Aspergers. They had been treating him for bipolar and adhd, but nothing worked. He has been through 5 daycares and he made it through Kindergarden with-a lot of help and interventions, but is now in an out of district therapeutic school were he is thriving. My difficult child is very smart and bright, but also combative and rigid in his thinking. He prefers to be with-adults or older kids for the most part. FWIW and I can't diagnose, I'm just a mom, but my son used to be horrendous about getting dressed. Would easily frustrate, complained he couldn't do it himself (although we now he can, he has in the past). He just recently started taking Prozac, a small amount, and all of the sudden last week I come down the hall from getting ready and he's dressed. No yelling, no screaming or crying. I was in shock. He's gotten dressed everyday since then and on his own. He is taking that for anxiety. I would request that the school evaluate her since she falls under their jurisdiction now and also would pursue an individual neuropsychological evaluation for your daughter. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
