[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721670, member: 1550"] I highly recommend a neuropsycological evaluation for Daughter. A neuropsychologist is a special type of psychologist with extra training in the brain. They do intensive testing. My son was tested for ten hours over ywo days. Not all neuropsychologists or any professonal is equally skilled so call an autism society for some names. Thats what I did. A neuropsychologist does not just look for autism...he or she will look for things others who are not as thorough would miss. Another poster here had a bad experience with one i believe because her son was expected to answer or write things, but ours did not make our son do that at all. He observed and tested and the testing got my son, now 24, on a good track for life. For what its worth, i think your father and other relatives are acting like jerks (sorry) and Id leave ASAP. Very ASAP! You have a better understanding of your daughter than they do, but you cant change their minds. Can you stay with someone more understanding? Father is demeaning you to your children (never good) and hurting your daughter, who is differently wired and needs help, not a spanking. She could very well have a form of autism. Or some other disorder. But she is NOT "bad" and all the discipline in the world wont help. She needs a diagnosis and you need to learn to take your fathers words as words of someone with a big ego and no clue. How is your husband with all this? You and he need to get on tje same page, even if that takes marital counseling. Welcome and you are a very caring mother who understands her kid's needs. [/QUOTE]
