[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]also - have you looked at her diet?  I have a friend who removed food dyes from diet and it made a HUGE difference in behavior. (I do not know why -but Red is the big one which is in Jelly, some cereals, jello etc.)[/quote]

Second this. I don't know why, but I read your post, and I immediately thought "diet."

Other than that, I just want to say hang in there, OP.  It sounds like you are truly doing your best with a very difficult situation.  This must be so freaking difficult.  :hugs:[/quote]

Other than red dye, what should I avoid?[/quote]

Read about the Feinhold diet. We did this diet and now have maintained the things that really affect him badly.

Take a deep breath. General Parenting may not be the best forum for this discussion. The special needs forum have parents that hae BTDT.

I could have written your post when my son was 3. then 4 then 5 then ...

I did not get a real good diagnosis until he was about 9. There were so many things going on.

Diet, discipline (not the kind other parents do - the kind that is good for him), tutors, therapists. It sounds like so much but it really becomes managable after you sort of figure it out.

First I would find a famliy therapist for you and your husband to discuss the issues and come up with a plan. My therapist really did not see kids this young so for years it was just us and the therapist.

My son ended up seeing a therapist for about 6 months when he was 9ish which was a great experience in his personal growth.

You have a whole lot of stuff going on and your daughter is basically telling you - hey something is not right.

A doctor from Johns Hopkins told me to keep asking questions until I felt like I had a story that fit my son. We have the story and now can act accordingly.

Stay strong![/quote]
