[QUOTE="Adarob, post: 504608, member: 13763"] My daughter is 7.5 and in 2nd grade. She started acting out towards the end of her kindergarten year. The age of 5 had a LOT of changes for her. Divorce, moving 3 times, starting school. She had never been in daycare and didn't qualify for head start, so it was her first time in a classroom. At 5 we did have some problems at home, but I think it was more of her just reacting to the situation we were in. At she was running around the classroom when she wasn't supposed to and pretty much doing her own thing and ignoring the teacher. As per the suggestion of the school staff I had her evaluated for ADD/ADHD with a psychologist. (Beery VMI, BASC-2, SB5, Bracken School Readiness Assessment, Social Developmental history, Vanderbild ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales - I still have his assessment paperwork). She scored High Average across the board for the Cognitive assessment and her working memory was very advanced, so with all that and the rest of his evaluation he said she was not ADD/ADHD. She was able to sit still through the whole process, was very interested in the "game" and did well. She did seem to score low on the Social-Emotional development part. We also were (and just until recently still were) having issues with her having BM in her underwear. Her reasoning was that she was "too busy" to go to the bathroom. On the Personality section she was "at-risk" in Externalizing problems, Somatization, Withdrawal, Adaptability, and Adaptive skills. He said after talking to me that she also had behaviors associated with depression and anxiety. Personal space and impulse control were/are also areas where she has trouble. In his diagnostic impressions he has Adjustment disorder with mixed symptoms and Oppositional Defiant Disorder [/QUOTE]
