[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 332778, member: 1991"] You describe this as anger - you're probably very right. It's really difficult for a kid who doesn't know what is wrong, why she is different, why it's all so hard. You don't have to wonder how it's affecting her - what you see is how it's affecting her. At least she is expressing her anger, but she needs to have a neuropsychologist investigation done to try to get more to the bottom of this. We also went through the Connor's tests, the forms etc. But the child needs to be tested too, to be seen and examined personally instead of a doctor merely looking at the forms. Getting a diagnosis, especially a carefully considered one, takes time. It can be a very frustrating process. The ADHD could be correct but there could be more. Or if not, then there is a lot of anger there which needs some sort of therapy, to help her cope. Poor kid. And poor you, trying to handle all this. The Concerta turning her into a zombie - maybe the dose was too high for her. The dose isn't always related to the severity of the symptoms or the size of the person. difficult child 3 is on a very high dose of stimulants, difficult child 1 (although older and bigger) is on a much lower dose. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was always on an even smaller dose. I hope you can get some answers that will help long term. In the meantime - read on this site, look around the various forums and gather information. When you can do a sig for yourself so you don't have to keep repeating yourself every time you post. Welcome. Sorry you need us, but I'm sure we can help. Marg [/QUOTE]
