[QUOTE="nvts, post: 417952, member: 3814"] Hi Pennygirl! Welcome to the site! You'll enjoy the group - lots of experience, strong shoulders and sympathetic ears here! Yes it certainly does sound like you've got your hands full. And to answer your question: Yes it sounds like there's a problem. Quite often pediatricians are in more denial than the parents are! :hammer: My personal belief? I'd get a neuropsychologist done. The testing is done over a few days, it's extensive and they'll ask you a ton of questions that will help them zero in on the issues that are causing you to test. It's all looked at and they'll be the ones to diagnose the issues at hand and then at least you'll have a road map to figure out your best steps. I'd also suggest that you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It's an easy read and will give you some insights as to how some kids brains work. Have you considered Occupational Therapy for her? It could really help with the sensory issues (the bumps on the socks, sounds, textures, etc.). If she has tactile defensiveness, they can work with her and that could aleviate some of the meltdowns that you're experiencing. Again, welcome to the group - it's a great place to ask questions - as I said a vast amount of experience lies within! Beth [/QUOTE]
