[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it seems like something needs to change and family therapy is a good place to start.  If she won'tparticipate in that, do therapy for you as parents. . Is there anything that indicates possible ADHD, autism, or OCD? One of these dx could explain the extreme behavior you're seeing. If you know why she's like this, it can help target treatment. And look at the Everyday Parenting Toolkit book by Kazdin for help turning down the conflict in your family.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It is so, so hard. [/quote]

She's received an extensive school evaluation which showed that she did not quite meet the criteria for ASD or ADHD, although she shares many of the traits. I think it might be a personality disorder.  [/quote]

The school eval might not have been the most thorough. When you read about autism in girls, ahdh, or ocd does anything sound like it fits? Can you afford a private pay neuropsych eval or see about getting on wait lists at KKI and Children's (they may take insurance)? If you're the same poster who's husband appears to be on the autism spectrum and spends a lot of time on hobbies,  your daughter very likely is autistic. I wouldn't rely on the school eval to definitively rule it out.  [/quote]

We talked about this. We decided not to pursue the private eval at this time due to cost, and DD’s likely refusal to participate, and also because we are essentially addressing most of the actual challenges she faces through her IEP and her therapy.[/quote]
