[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 211575, member: 3907"] Hello Maralenn and welcome! It sure does sound like you have your hands full with your daughter. Sorry for piling on the questions, but it will help us to better know how we can help you. 1) Did your daughter reach all of the developmental milestones within the normal timeframes? Any issues with early speech development 2) What was her babyhood and early childhood like? Was she unusually fussy or difficult? Did she go stiff or limp when you tried to hold her, or resist being picked up? 3) Any issues with food textures, textures of clothing or other tactile issues? 4) Did she have any unusual play habits, such as lining up toys? I'm not a doctor and can't diagnose, but it sounds to me like ADHD/ODD is just scratching the surface and you may need to have a thorough re-evaluation of your daughter. ODD is often a symptom of an underlying condition with a set of interventions that are not working for your child. A lot of disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), mood disorders, etc.) present with lookalike symptoms to ADHD. Many of us have started with a diagnosis of ADHD/ODD, and gone down the diagnostic path from there until we find out what's really going on with our children. Your daughter's behaviour sounds a lot like my difficult child'e behaviour a few years ago. Uncontrollable, disconnected and possibly delusional, VERY manipulative, cruel to his little brother. After a diagnostic roller coaster, we finally got a diagnosis of Asperger's and Bipolar. He now has a set of interventions that are working very well for him. A lot of us have had success with neuropsychologist evaluations for our children. They are intensive, and can pinpoint some of the neurological issues that other forms of testing can't. So glad you found us, but sorry that you had to. Trinity [/QUOTE]
