[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 119141, member: 2423"] Jennifer, everyone's right that we can't diagnosis over the internet. From everything you've described, your daughter has significant anxiety. Anxiety can accompany many childhood disorders, including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), bipolar disorder and unipolar depression. I have three children with significant anxiety and no autistic spectrum disorders, and the way they present is completely different from each other. My oldest has a bipolar-like mood disorder with depression, mania, sensory issues and tics. My middle daughter has a mood disorder with significant depression and no mania. My youngest has an anxiety disorder with an eating disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies. It has taken skilled professionals (psychiatrists in our case) to figure out exactly what's going on with our kids and then treat them appropriately with medication and psychotherapy. The one benefit we've had is that our kids see their psychiatrists weekly so diagnostic and treatment decisions are based on clinical observations rather than quickie evaluations that yield inaccurate information. I agree with the need for further evaluation either with a neuropsychologist, a developmental pediatrician or a multidisciplinary team at a children's or university teaching hospital. Good luck with finding the appropriate services in your area. [/QUOTE]
