[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 460174, member: 11791"] She needs a comprehensive evaluation - either by a neuropsychologist or by a pediatric team. The things you described could be part of a number of disorders - but, there are many more questions before any one diagnosis might stand out. As far as the techniques in The Explosive Child? Sometimes as parents, we tend to jump in... and end up starting in the middle. First, you have to have some idea of where your child is coming from and why they think the way they do. If you don't have that, then you don't have a basis for collaboration. In addition - is here PCP fully aware of all of her behaviors etc.? Have physical causes been tested for and ruled out? Things like thyroid problems, or the possibility of an aneurism or brain tumor? I'm concerned about the change in trend at about age 3... up to that point, I'd have guessed something like "on" or "toward" the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum. But... not sure how often an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid makes a significant downward shift... Medical stuff needs to be dealt with first, before any other specialists.... [B][U]unless you're dealing with a pediatric medical team[/U][/B] in which case they can check for everything - medical, psychological, and whatever else. [/QUOTE]
