[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408761, member: 1233"] Also do NOT let them convince you she had conduct disorder yet. At nine she is WAY too young for that diagnosis. My son was evaluated and condemned to be the "next Hannibal Lector" by a social worker who visited him shortly after our confrontation. In reality his is an Aspie with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) focused on violence at that time. It sure LOOKED like he was a monster with no feelings for other people, but it wasn't the truth. There is a reason to not diagnosis conduct disorder before 18 - because kids are still developing and can make HUGE changes and turn-arounds. So don't get too down at this early stage. I know it isn't easy. also use time with her out of the house to do special things with the other two - esp the youngest. He needs to know it isn't his fault she is like this - she very likely has done horrible things to him and forced him to hide them from you (very common). So let the school counselor know what is up and let her work on these issues too. [/QUOTE]
