[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 460147, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. You'll end up with a bunch of questions as we try to figure out the trends and patterns in your child. We're just parents, but between us all, its amazing what we've seen. What, exactly, have you noticed about your child that makes her different? both recently, and from birth etc. Has she ever been evaluated by specialists? How are things at school? Is she your biological child? or adopted? If adopted, any history (how old when adopted, any maternal drug use, etc.) Is there any family history of ADHD, or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), or mental illnesses such as BiPolar? On this board, we assume it is NOT your parenting. We've all had that accusation far too often - when in fact, the child has serious issues that are not being addressed. SO... you'll find that we are on YOUR side! And, to a large degree, on your child's side (but the child wouldn't necessarily see that). It is not a sign of failure on your part if your child needs help. Would you feel the same if she had cancer? I didn't think so. Try to understand that she really cannot help being what she is right now. She would be different if she could, but she can't. You need to find ways to figure out why she can't - which provides the basis for interventions, accommodations and when necessary medications... things that can and do make a difference. Have you ever seen the book The Explosive Child? (By Green). It provides a different approach to these kids, and some understanding of the kinds of issues that may be behind the behavior. I'm sure others will be along with more questions! [/QUOTE]
