[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 384529, member: 3493"] Have you ever read "The Out of Sync Child?" I took it out of the library when difficult child was younger. He doesn't have it, though H and youngest boy have very mild symptoms (they can only wear certain socks - if I don't have the right socks for youngest boy, he throws a fit. When our washer wasn't working, I had to go out and buy his socks or he wouldn't go to school. I have a friend who has a son with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and she said this book (which I told her about) has been her Bible in dealing with his issues. As for the defiance/anxiety, I see that in my difficult child. His issue is writing, especially things that are personal. He would rather fail than look bad so for years, the school just labeled him ODD and tried to force him into BOCES. BOCES offers great options and my oldest son attended one of their HS's, so it's not that I am against them; I'm actually a big advocate of them. It was just not right for difficult child, whose eventually diagnosed anxiety needed to be dealt with differently. I agree that your daughter has a high level of anxiety but it needs to be dealt with medically. With my son, all that happened was that he failed English every year in middle school - his life was not in danger so I could sort of sit back and see what would happen. in my humble opinion, though, you told her she would go to the hospital with the first failed shake and I think you should take her. Medical is different from psychiatric, different players, different coverage. Try one of the children's hospitals. We're not allowed to name names here but I would highly recommend the one on the Nassau-Queens border as it is affiliated with a very good children's mental health clinic. Good luck to you and your entire family. [/QUOTE]
