[QUOTE="lUVmYkIDS1983, post: 528979, member: 14571"] I chose to go to GENETIC COUNCELING CENTER to have her evaulated, instead of typical specialist. My Son who is 7 was diagnosed by a specialist, I really feel there is more there then ADHD, but with his medications he went from a troublesome child with poor grades, to a honor roll student who is a grade level ahead in reading, he's on Vyvance 30mg, Intuniv 3mg and Clonidine .2 mg. My daughter is on just the resperidone currently, and it did make her gain weight, which she needed, But they are not treating her for the ADHD just the O.D.D right now, then want to do the Genetic testing first before adding any other medications to her regiment. Our insurance doesn't cover these test because they are quite expensive. So I am thinking I might have to downgrade to a "specialist," in fear that we have gotten as far as we can with the Genetic behavorial doctor. What I am looking for is "others" with experiance, and listen to their ways of dealing with a child with O.D.D/A.D.H.D I do realize that I didnt cause this to happen to my children, and the chances of having 2 children with behavioral problems is not as uncommon. I really feel if I could find some kind of playgroup for children like her, that may help. My babysitter just watches my kids and thats it. My daughter can handle small groups, the larger the worse she gets. I look at her, and want to cry because I am in fear that she is gonna be treated differently her whole life because of this. I am having problems with schools now, what is it gonna be like when she finally makes it to Kindergarten? [/QUOTE]
