[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 128088, member: 1550"] Has she ever been evaluated for high functioning autism? That would require a neuropsychologist. She has some red flags for that. The sensitivity to sound (and maybe other things) is common as is toewalking. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son toewalked. Other common traits are difficulty with transitions, poor eye contact with strangers, late speech (in kids with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified), poor to no social skills (he/she can be friendly, but it's inappropriate and tends to scare off other kids). Lack of an attention span, Learning Disability (LD)'s, processing problems etc. can be a part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These kids are "atypical" in the wiring in their brain, yet often improve a lot with the right help and do very well. It's not a psychiataric problem. If she hasn't had this looked at carefully, I'd want her tested. My son's first diagnosis. was ADHD/ODD, but that was wrong. But it's a common first label for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child. They often appear oppositional on purpose because of their extreme fear of and inability to make smooth transitions and their hyper fear of anything new, even changes in their room. This is very broadbased, but, if anything sounds familiar, I'd check it out. It's sort of like ADHD EXTREME. I sometimes think ADHD is just a minor part of the spectrum and so do some professionals... [/QUOTE]
