[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 125353, member: 1550"] I recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation. in my opinion it sounds like more than ADHD/ODD. NeuroPsychs do very intensive testing, and cover all areas. My son was tested for twelve hours in two hours increments. I found both the testing and the answers far superior to any sort of testing we had before. The late pottying is worrisome and I don't believe it is part of defiance. in my opinion something more is going on and it should be explored. In my long experience (I have bipolar and Learning Disability (LD) problems and son is on the autism spectrum) the best diagnosticians tend to be NeuroPsychs and second tend to be Psychiatrists (with the MD). Both me and my son have had terrible luck with plain psychologists, therapists, social workers etc. Did she have any atypical development? Did she walk or talk late? Does she know how to socialize with her peers? Do mood disorders or substance abuse run in your family? You may want to do a signature, like me. That would help us. I would NOT rush to medicate until you are 85% sure what's wrong (you can never be more than 85% sure). The wrong medications can make a child even worse. It all depends on what is really going on. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
