[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 128600, member: 1550"] I'd take her to a neuropsychologist. I really think they do the best evaluations (they spend lots of time with the kids and do all sorts of testing). No other professionals bother to test, at least none that my son has gone to. The result of that has been misdiagnoses. I personally think that if she is pottying in her pants at her age it is more than ADHD/ODD. Sounds like she could have serious anxiety or/and sensory issues caused by a bigger disorder. At any rate I believe in "Better to be safe than sorry" and I'd contact a good neuropsychologist. They can be found in children's and university hospitals. Second best, in my opinion, are Child Psychiatrists (with the MD), however they often don't do any testing either and sort of pull diagnosis. out of the thin air. I prefer the testing. There is no 100%; guarantees because psychiatric and soft neurological problems have no blood tests, however NeuroPsychs in my opinion come the closest to getting things right. in my opinion, find out what's wrong first, then worry about therapy. Therapy doesn't work with certain disorders and in my opinion it's kind of doing things backwards. Many here have had positive experiences with NeuroPsychs. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
